Right now I bet you´re telling your friends That I´m a messed up, heartless, narcissist
Right now I bet you´re drying your eyes Like you´re the only one who´s hurting tonight
And there´s a million songs about the one done wrong
But what about the one who goes? The one who´s got to cry on the way back home? What about the one who knows It was for the best but their heart´s still broke? The one who´s on the other side gets all the sympathy But what, what about the one who leaves? (Ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Right now I keep telling myself
Don´t call, don´t text, don´t wish you well ´Cause, right now, I´m so full of regret Thinking, "Did this really have to end?"
And there´s a million guys who would not think twice
But what about the one who goes? The one who´s got to cry on the way back home? What about the one who knows It was for the best but their heart´s still broke? The one who´s on the other side gets all the sympathy But what, what about the one who leaves? (Ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
What about the one who leaves? (Ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
You never know how hard I tried to fight this awful feeling You never know the hours I spent staring at your ceiling You never know the pain But sometimes the hard thing and the right thing Are the same (Ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
But what about the one who goes? The one who´s got to cry on the way back home? What about the one who knows It was for the best but their heart´s still broke?
The one who´s on the other side gets all the sympathy But what, what about the one who leaves?
