You couldn't even show yourself out

And I'm left showing you the door
[Refrão]

You couldn't look me in the eyes

Taken right up to the entrance

At the last minute turned away
[Refrão]

Just can't look you in the eyes

So let's dim the lights

Get a case out, pack up your pride

Delete me, I'm on your side
