I practiced some lines in the mirror
  But I couldn't settle on one
  I could be James Dean another shot at that scene
  'Stead of standing there lookin' dumb
  And I hung on to wasted memories
  Didn't want to face the pain
  Recalling some of the things I done that
  Neither one of us could change
  
  You could cry yourself to sleep in the morning
  And I'll come home drunk at night
  You could give me a final warning and then
  Man we'll have a hell of a fight
  You could say that we tried everything we could
  As I'm reaching for my hat
  But you just can't get in your car and leave
  Honey how can it end like that
  
  Now I know that it's all over
  And I know it won't be back
  Didn't even cry or say goodbye
  Don't I mean any more than that
  
  But you just can't get in your car and leave
  Honey how can it end like that
