[Verse 1]
You can't fool me
I can read you like a book
I can see that leaving in your eyes
I even know that look
You think that I don't know
You think I have no clue
I guess letting me down easy
Was more than you could do

[Chorus]
You could have left me
Yeah, before I let you in
You could have left me
Before we tried what might have been
You could have left me
Before you did me wrong
But you can't leave me now
'Cause I'm already gone

[Verse 2]
Well, that's right, it's too late
Yeah, I left a long time ago
You were too busy living it up
Honey, I was letting go
Well, now don't act so sad
Those tears aren't even real
You ain't ever gonna see me again
Tell me, how does that feel?
[Chorus]
You could have left me
Yeah, before I let you in
You could have left me
Before we tried what might have been
You could have left me
Before you did me wrong
But you can't leave me now
'Cause I'm already gone

[Bridge]
We used to talk about forever
Not so long ago
But forever is all over now
Don't act like you don't know

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You could have left me
Yeah, before I let you in
You could have left me
Before we tried what might have been
You could have left me
Before you did me wrong
But you can't leave me now
'Cause I'm already gone
[Post-Chorus]
But you can't leave me now
'Cause I'm already, said
I'm already gone

[Outro]
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
Yeah, I'm already gone
