The 9ths

Lyrics

I placed the note on the table
Put your key back in the drawer
I got my coat from the closet
And I, looked around once more
I turned the outside light on
For you when you get home
Leaving for the last time
But the first time alone
I don't wanna hold you back
I don't wanna drag this on, no
If this was gonna last
We wouldn't have gone so wrong

I don't wanna hurt you now
But I gotta walk away
'Cause we both know

I shouldn't stay, I don't wanna live a lie
I shouldn't stay, Oh no no no
I shouldn't stay, Someone has to say goodbye
I shouldn't stay, Baby gotta go

Memories of good times
They try to bring me back
But we moved too quickly
And we flew off the tracks
I know I just missed 'ya
But, that was the intent
'Cause I knew you'd just dust off
All those words you never meant

I don't wanna hurt you now
But I gotta walk away
'Cause we both know

I shouldn't stay, We were never meant to be
I shouldn't stay, Oh no no no
I shouldn't stay, Someone has to set us free
I shouldn't stay, Baby gotta go

A song on the radio
Made me think of you
The way that our love first was
And the mess it turned into

(I shouldn't stay)
I don't wanna hurt you now (I shouldn't stay)
I don't wanna hurt you now
But I gotta walk away
'Cause we both know (I shouldn't stay)

I shouldn't stay, I don't wanna live a lie
I shouldn't stay, Oh no no no
I shouldn't stay, Someone has to say goodbye
I shouldn't stay, Baby gotta go
I shouldn't stay, We were never meant to be
I shouldn't stay, Oh no no no
I shouldn't stay, Someone has to set us free
I shouldn't stay, Baby gotta go
