lousy truth - Never Shout Never, Christofer Drew, Caleb Denison

Girl, I’ve been thinking a lot about who we could have been

If I was back home

Just chilling with you and all my friends

But dear I’m gone and that’s the lousy truth

For the past 3 years I swear I’ve been a better man

Than who I’ve become I know I know I know I’ll let you down

But I’ve been gone for too damn long

So if you go away right now

Then I can guarantee that I won’t break your heart

But if you go and stay

Then baby I will hope and pray that you will run away

Cause dear it breaks my heart to see you here

So shine outward, not inward

You’ve been a selfish little girl

For the past 3 years

I’ve been through more than you could know

And God I don’t want you to know

What I have been through

Cause you just wouldn’t understand

You’re just a girl with some issues

As bad as it might sound

But you’re the girl

Who’s been driving me mad

So go to school in Chicago

Find a new boy, a new life

A whole new set of friends

Cause all that I will ever do is break your heart

And dear it breaks my heart

To see you here

And dear it breaks my heart

To see you here

But just so you know…

I’ve been thinking a lot about who we could have been

If I was back home

Just chilling with you and all my friends

But dear I’m gone

And that’s the lousy truth
