So tonight I'll testify
As an alibi
To one who did me wrong
Jus the same old song and dance
You've heard before
Though I'd like to stare you down
And throw my accusation 'round
Your only crime would be
That you loved her more than me
And that's all right
There's no way that I can say
That we would've ended up this way
If I'd taken time to let you know
Down the line...
But if we have to lay the blame
I can tell you I was just the same
It was my fault for letting go
So I'll give you the key
And I will set you free
To live your life
In a place far away from me
My only wish will be
That she'll make you happy
As you move on
To a place far away from me
Now the evidence is clear
The old chains that kept you here
Are rusted through
There's nothing I can do
To make a you stay
So I'll sit here with my guilt
Behind iron bars I built
To keep you in
But it's me who's locked within
From the very start
There's no way that I can say
That we would've ended up this way
If I'd taken time to let you know
Down the line...
But if we have to lay the blame
I can tell you I was just the same
It should have never let you go
But I'll give you the key
And I will set you free
To live your life
In a place for away from me
My only wish will be
That she'll make you happy
As you move on
To a place far away from me
For every time I cried I laughed a little
For every time it hurt I smiled a little
Even when things were bad
I was never really sad
Now I’ll say “goodbye”
To the love that I had
