I guess it’s my own fault
For not seeing the seeing the signs from day one
I should have just walked away
Or better yet, cut my losses and run
I don’t know why I let your darkness
Walk right through my door
It is what it is - I’ve done all I can
And I can’t do any more

I stand by you
But you don’t ever seem to care
You always make me feel like I’m not even there

Just need to lick my wounds and grab a beer
I’m outta here, I’m outta here
Let’s face it, you or I won’t even shed a tear
I’m outta here, I’m outta here, I’m outta here

You kept the very best years of my life
Sitting on a shelf
And now the time has finally come
To save myself
I know you disagree
But I don’t think it’s so very wrong
To change my direction
And move on

I’m not perfect
But I swear I’ve got nothing to hide
You never believe me
And invent new ways to hurt me inside

Just need to lick my wounds and grab a beer
I’m outta here, I’m outta here
Let’s face it, you or I won’t even shed a tear
I’m outta here, I’m outta here, I’m outta here

Just need to lick my wounds and grab a beer
I’m outta here, I’m outta here
Let’s face it, you or I won’t even shed a tear
I’m outta here, I’m outta here, I’m outta here

Songwriter's Notes: Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, and not all couples are destined to remain together. This bittersweet songs describes bailing out of a bad relationship in order to save oneself. This acoustic version has a more laid back vibe than the rendition of the song from 2021.
