Lousy Truth Lyrics & Chords By Never Shout Never

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 may sound
But you're the girl who's been driving me mad
So if you go away
Right now that 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 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
