I heard some talk around this town
Talk about you and me
How a fool fell out of love with you
Wanted to be free
Well that`s easy for you to say
That I don`t know what I`m doing
That I`ve thrown our love away
And left my life in ruin
That`s easy for you to say
I read your letter again
I`m sure you know the one
"Goodbye," you said like a coward
"It`ll be better in the long run"
Well that`s easy for you to say
That I don`t know what I`m doing
That I`ve thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That`s easy for you to say
Go back to her again
Back to the way you were
She`s a damn sight better for you
You`re a damn sight better for her
Well that`s easy for you to say
That I don`t know what I`m doing
When you`ve thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That`s easy for you to say
