Never Shout Never - Harmony Lyrics

Girl, I've been thinking a lot, about who we coulda 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 three years, I swear, I've been a better man
Then who I've become, I know, I know, I know, I let you down
But I've been gone for too dang 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 three 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 may sound
But you're the girl who's been driving me mad

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 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
Yeah dear, it breaks my heart, to see you here

But just so you know
I've been thinking a lot about who we coulda 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
