[VERSE ONE]
Here’s how the story goes
It was a long, long time ago
We were in love, and then I said “I gotta go”
Why’d the hell I gotta go?
And then the hands of time
They heal the pain
Some years go by, we try again
The trust is gone, my love remains
I guess it wasn’t quite the same

[CHORUS]
Cuz away, away you go
I said away, away you go
I looked at your picture, and baby I missed ya
Wish I could forget ya
Then it would be away, away you go
Away, away you go

[VERSE TWO]
She blew away
The wind, it took her from me
The other day
It felt like she still loved me
I close my eyes
The moments keep on turning
The road is dry
But somehow we keep swerving

[CHORUS]
And away, away you go
I said away, away you go
I looked at your picture, and baby I missed ya
Wish I could forget ya
Then it would be away, away you go
Away, away you go

[VERSE THREE]
Yeah, one last time, give it one shot
Conversating in your car in the parking lot
Tears dripping down your face
To tell you that I love ya, wonder if it’s too late
Too late, oh, hmm
Girl I’m not perfect
The ones we love the most
Are the ones we always hurting
So don’t tell me you love me, cuz when I see you
I might do something stupid like believe you
And then it’d be

[CHORUS]
And away, away you go
I said away, away you go
I looked at your picture, and baby I missed ya
Wish I could forget ya
Then it would be away, away you go
Away, away you go

[OUTRO]
Here’s how the story goes

The trust is gone, my love remains
