Better Anyway - I Can't Say This to Your Face Lyrics

You had your heart set on the west coast
Now I'm learning new ways to cope
But in my mind I dance with your ghost
Because your soul was lost on the road

It's never coming back
Not for a long time
And every word I lack
Stays stuck in my mind
It's getting hard for me
I'm feeling out of place
I can barely breathe
I can't say this to your face

Did you really wanna leave
Or did I push you too far away
Because I have these tendencies
Where I don't mean what I say
You know I never wanted to hurt you
But I found in your words
That you wanted to hurt me too

I know you don't want to be alone
But how do you think I feel
How do you think I feel

Just so you know
I'm taking the long way home
And I'm not gripping the wheel
I'm driving with my eyes closed
And now I know
You found yourself a new home
It's where you want to be
But as long as it's not me, you're happy
