I can check out any time I like Nothing hurts like brave tomorrows At the end of your line Close the door and hide the phone Nip the bud and still the branches That you're leaving behind CHORUS: I should have told you That's not the way That's no way to break my heart I should have told you That's not the way That's no way to break my That's no way to break my heart I could tell by the way you walked I could tell by the way you gave me What I knew wasn't mine Doesn't matter if it's all night long Doesn't matter if you're gone by Monday Just as long as you're right CHORUS: I don't know what side you're on I don't know what makes you happy Except watching me cry Like a ghost in an old hotel Hanging onto bits of nothing I'm leaving you now
