lyrics

How hard that I did try to make this easier on you
Although you didn't care how hard it was on me
I tried I tried I tried to find the right words to say
Only I spoke them right as I watched you leave

The world then did resolve itself to grow so much smaller
So that I saw you both even when I tried to run
You tell me every day how awkward we became
Let me show you now how cold I have become

It's new years even in georgia
And I'm thankful for the distance
God, I hope that you're ok, but more than that I hope you stay away
Because I don't think you'd like the man that I've become

I knew that if I mattered like you told me that I did
You would have cursed me straight to my face
How hard that I have tried to find some hope beneath the sighs
But for me there's just no hope left to say

But it's new years eve in Nashville
And now all I see is distance
God, I hope that you're ok, but more than that I hope you stay away
Because I don't think you'd like the man that I've become

How hard that I did try to make this easier on you
Although i knew you never cared about me
So long you say it's been, but I knew I'd see you in the end
And I hope that you stay here to watch me give up
Completely

It's new years even in Manhattan
And we both left something behind
I left all hope I could see this through
But you left me here without you
And I don't see a way to make this right
