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 How come I keep on holding on Knowing you won't be coming home You won't be coming home
Two days later I get a letter A picture of a room in some hotel Sitting framed up on the table, A 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 But I save my tears for later on down the road How come I keep on holding on Knowing you won't be coming home
I still set the table Still set it for you and me It's become a habit My own personal make believe
So long, I hate to see you go But I save my tears for later on down the road How come I keep on holding on Knowing you won't be coming home
So long, I hate to see you go But I save my tears for later on down the road How come I keep on holding on Knowing you won't be coming home
