Right Thing

Don't know how to break the news
There wasn't much of a conclusion to wanting you
And I heard that you're moving on too
I guess my hazel eyes weren't enough for you

And you weren't to be much more than a rebound
Let you steal my heart, back in our hometown
I remember a cold night by the lake
Where we spoke of a distant dream lying on the planks

I hate to seem like I came on too strong but in truth
You came onto me, like I smiled back at you
And you're running after something you ain't sure what to call
Turned different shades like the leaves that fall

Just forget it, it's not me, it's always you
I can only tell you only what was the truth
You asked if you were wasting your time
I wasn't wasting yours; were you wasting mine?
My Daddy always says the right thing is the hardest thing to do

We were once just some kids smiling through
I held bottles in my hands like I held onto you
The taste of bittersweet on my lips
Just like the night of our first kiss

Saw your best friend, in the bar we met
Said you didn't know how to hold onto what you get
But you had your chance with the girl you chased
Like the wind that pushed back the hair from my face

I hate to seem like I came on too strong but in truth
You came onto me, like I smiled back at you
And you're running after something you ain't sure what to call
Turned different shades like the leaves that fall

Just forget it, it's not me, it's always you
I can only tell you only what was the truth
You asked if you were wasting your time
I wasn't wasting yours; were you wasting mine?
My Daddy always says the right thing is the hardest thing to do

Just forget it, it's not me, it's always you
I can only tell you what was once the truth
You asked if you were wasting your time
I wasn't wasting yours, were you wasting mine?
I guess I just was too hard to do
I guess the right thing was just too hard to hold onto
