I'm, staying in tonight
Watching T.V by myself
'Cause yesterday my girlfriend wrecked my life
I don't want to explain
There's nothing I can say to you
All I got is this one note she left me

It says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then
Next year or ever
If one more person asks me why
I'll try to lie
And then

I will say
She got herself arrested
Got ten years locked away
But that's okay
'Cause the honest truth
I was gonna end it anyway
I'll make up anything yeah, truthfully
So no one finds out she left me

She's, enrolled in the marines
I try to see her most weekends
But in all honesty she's never allowed leave

She says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then
Next year or ever
If one more person asks me why
I'll try to lie
And then

I will say
She got herself arrested
Got ten years locked away
But that's okay
'Cause the honest truth
I was gonna end it anyway
The reason's I don't have a clue
This could easily happen to you
And then you'll know just what it's like

She says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then
Next year or ever
If one more person asks me why
I'll try to lie
And then

I will say
She got herself arrested
Got ten years locked away
But that's okay
'Cause the honest truth
I was gonna end it anyway

And I could say
She did a bunji jump, rope snapped
She passed away
But that's okay
'Cause the honest truth
I was gonna end it anyway

I'll make up anything yeah, truthfully
So no one finds out she left me
