lyrics

It's gonna be hard to beat you, babe.
I'm sure that she'll try but I can't deny that it won't be so easy.
It's gonna be far to walk away.
But sanity, pride. They're worth every mile when you won't change.
It never changes.

Of everything I said I wouldn't do.
I had to say goodbye in Baton Rouge.
I should've never known you that way. Some things will never change.
If you're having trouble settling the past.
I'm happy to believe it's for the best.
If I could've ever known you that way some things would be the same.

If I'd taken my time instead of your pace.
I'd be less inclined to take your advice when
I've found the words repeat and they say:
"Hearts, they are left to the hands of fate. You'd be best left forgotten."
Fought through the world to taste your kiss goodbye.
