I can check out any time I like
Nothing hurts like brave tomorrows
At the end of your line
Close the door and hide the phone
Nip the bud and still the branches
That you're leaving behind

I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart
I should have told you
That's not the way
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart

I could tell by the way you walked
I could tell by the way you gave me
What I knew wasn't mine
Doesn't matter if it's all night long
Doesn't matter if you're gone by Monday
Just as long as you're right

I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart
I should have told you
That's not the way
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart

I don't know what side youâ??re on
I don't know what makes you happy
Except watching me cry
Like a ghost in an old hotel
Hanging onto bits of nothing
I'm leaving you now
