I wonder what you tell them
That we grew apart
That I was always busy
And you were in the dark?
But don't worry
I'll be the night sky
I'll take the high road
Like I always do
Yeah, ain't that the truth

I'll buy a house for the songs that you gave me
I wanna thank you for the way that you played me
For the tears and the pain and the waste of time
Now I'm singing it all away every night
I'll buy a house with the songs that you gave me
You put a price on my heart when it's breaking
Took a year to the day, but I'm doing fine
That's the time that it takes to say goodbye

Feel like I'm allowed to say this
I've been quiet far too long
I know you wonder what I'm doing
About who I'm with
If I'm happier without you
Well, you can stop wondering
Don't worry, I made the best of your mistakes
Just like I always do
Yeah, I wrote this one for you

I'll buy a house for the songs that you gave me
I wanna thank you for the way that you played me
For the tears and the pain and the waste of time
Now I'm singing it all away every night
I'll buy a house with the songs that you gave me
You put a price on my heart when it's breaking
Took a year to the day, but I'm doing fine
That's the time that it takes to say goodbye

Feel like I'm allowed to say this
I've been quiet far too long
I'll buy a house, yeah
I'll buy a house (mm), yeah

I'll buy a house with somebody new
Who's gonna love me so much better than you could ever do
This is the last song that I'll sing about you
Close the door on my new home without you
Took a year to the day, but I'm doing fine
That's the time that it took me to say goodbye
