Bye Bye Baby
Taylor Swift Lyrics

It wasn't just like a movie
This situation wasn't as perfect as how movies usually portray love stories

The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin
The weather wasn't sad or depressing, but it's my emotions making me feel that way

I'm driving away and I, I guess you could say
I'm leaving you and this place behind and it's safe to say that this would be the last time I'll ever come back here

This is the last time I'll drive this way again
I'm ending this chapter of my life and taking a different route from now on

Lost in the gray and I try to grab at the fray
My thoughts and emotions are all over the place and I'm trying my best to hold on to something

'Cause I, I still love you but I can't
I'm still in love with you, but I can't continue to hold on to something that's not there anymore

Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Farewell to all the things I thought were there to support me

I want you bad but it's come down to nothing
I still desire you so strongly but this relationship has amounted to nothing

And all I have is your sympathy
All you have to offer me now is your pity and understanding

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me
You brought me into your life but couldn't keep me there

The picture frame is empty
There's nothing left of the memories we once shared

On the dresser, vacant just like me
The space between us is now empty and devoid of any feelings or emotions

I see your writing on the dash
I see a reminder of you and the time we spent together

Then back to your hesitation
But then I'm reminded that you weren't willing to commit yourself fully to me

I was so sure of everything
I was certain about us and our future together

Everything I thought we'd always have
All the things I imagined we'd have forever

Guess I never doubted it
I never even thought about the possibility that we wouldn't make it

Then the here and the now floods in
But now reality sets in and everything is in the present moment

Feels like I'm becoming a part of your past
It feels like I'm slowly being left behind, and becoming just another part of your past

There's so much that I can't touch
There are so many things that I can't control or change

You're all I want but it's not enough this time
All I want is you, but this time it's just not enough to make this relationship work

And all the pages are just slipping through my hands
Everything seems to be falling apart despite my best efforts to hold it together

And I'm so scared of how this ends
I'm terrified of the outcome that awaits me

Oh, you took me home, I thought you were gonna keep me
I thought I found a home in you, a place where I could belong forever

Bye, bye, baby
Goodbye to you, my love

Bye, bye, baby
Goodbye to you, my love
