[Verse 1]
Why you actin' so surprised I'm leavin'?
We ain't been happy for some time
And don't pretend you don't know the reasons
I never made you read my mind

[Chorus]
So go on, blame me, honey
Turn this whole town on me
Act like you were last to know
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leavin'
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But, baby, you left me
Yeah, you left me a long time ago

[Verse 2]
All I wanted was for you to listen
To hold me when I was scared
And I tried but couldn't close the distancе
Even when you werе right there
Only time you ever paid attention
Was when tears rolled down my face
Packin' up my suitcase, so

[Chorus]
Yeah, go on, blame me, honey
Turn this whole town on me
Act like you were last to know
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leavin'
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But, baby, you left me
Yeah, you left me a long time ago
[Bridge]
Just rolled in to Texarkana
I'll be in Dallas by tonight
Just called to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Go on blame me, honey
Turn that whole town on me
Act like you were last to know, mm
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leavin'
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But, baby, you left me
Yeah, you left me a long time ago
Mm, mm
