As her car pulls out the driveway 
And she don’t wave goodbye 
Her last words echo in my mind 
Listen honey, i gotta get away 

I’m standing here watching her tail lights 
As if they’re some kind of sign 
Fading into a memory 
I just got tired of trying 

So long, i hate to see you go 
So i save my tears for later on down the road  [bad word] i keep i holding on 
Knowing you won’t [bad word] home 

Two days later i get a letter 
picture of a room in some hotel 
Sitting framed up on the table, 
picture i know so well 
You’ve painted yourself in to a corner 
Now you’re trying to paint something new 
And your lipstick on the letter 
Is a goodbye kiss from you 

So long, i hate to see you go 
So i save my tears for later on down the road  [bad word] i keep i holding on 
Knowing you won’t [bad word] home 

I still set the table 
Still set it for you and me 
It’s [bad word] a habit 
My own personal make believe 

So long, i hate to see you go 
So i save my tears for later on down the road  [bad word] i keeṗ i holding on 
Knowing you won’t [bad word] home 

So long, i hate to see you go 
So i save my tears for later on down the road  [bad word] i keep i holding on 
Knowing you won’t [bad word] home
