Please don't go, I'm begging
Don't you know I've never been good at coping
Without you and I'd hoped
You'd push through, just keep looking past
All the smoke and mirrors, still love me
Regardless of all of my complexities but
Now you're gone before I even know you've packed
How am I supposed to think that this is not a personal attack
Well I hope Paris is lovely
At this time of the year
But now I hate my favorite city
Cause it pulled you away from here
Maybe it's for the best that
You just walked away
Cause I'm known for driving 90
With no way to hit the breaks
And you deserve much better
Than the person that I am
I wish I could be good for you
But I don't think I can
And now we've got our hands tied
With no one to set us free
But the only thing that plagues my mind
Is that Paris stole you from me
Please come back and stop me
From making a bigger mess of everything
You're sleeping, I'm drinking
Try fighting every impulse and instinct
To call you, so she'll do in a pinch
But she's not you no matter how hard I pretend
Just wish I'd had the chance to say goodbye
Eight thousand miles is a long way to go
Just to prove you're 'fine'
Well I hope Paris is lovely
At this time of the year
But now I hate my favorite city
Cause it pulled you away from here
Maybe it's for the best that
You just walked away
Cause I'm known for driving 90
With no way to hit the breaks
And you deserve much better
Than the person that I am
I wish I could be good for you
But I don't think I can
And now we've got our hands tied
With no one to set us free
But the only thing that plagues my mind
Is that Paris stole you from me
I'm bleeding through your band aid
And maybe I need stitches but we know I won't admit it
I'm speeding down the freeway
Cause what's the point in careful if I'll lose you either way
Well I hope Paris is lovely
At this time of the year
But now I hate my favorite city
Cause it pulled you away from here
Maybe it's for the best that
You just walked away
Cause I'm known for driving 90
With no way to hit the breaks
And you deserve much better
Than the person that I am
I wish I could be good for you
But I don't think I can
And now we've got our hands tied
With no one to set us free
But the only thing that plagues my mind
Is that Paris stole you from me
