She left her books, her car, her clothes, and a note 
But all she wrote was, "Tonight I'm leaving on a train." 
She says she's headed west 
To make it right for one more night 
And, well, I don't blame her if she is 
But he thinks it's just one more sunset 
And after all, it's her fault 
If she hasn't caught on yet 

So why'd you have to go? 
Is there something I could say to make you turn around? 
Cause nights like these I wish I'd said don't go 
Is there anybody there? 
Can anybody help to get me out of here? 
Cause you're walking down a road that I can't go

? as a martyr 
Just can't handle this 
I lost myself inside a [bad word] kiss 
And I, all that I wanted was to walk you home 
Save a sad song for the sing-along 
Oh my God, I just can't handle this 
I lost myself inside a [bad word] kiss 
And I, all that I wanted was to walk you home 
Save a sad song for the sing-along 

And she thinks she'll be my tourniquet 
As the record on my stereo 
Plays her favorite song for two whole days 
And the drag stretched out for miles and miles 
And what she'd give for one more smile 
And how she hoped he missed her 
Cause, God, she missed how he would kiss her
