I took a train to Boston and I wanted to cry

He's gone I'm twenty-four and it's a Saturday night

I ran and took his jacket with the rip in the side

I hate when we fight sucks when we fight

But honestly whatever he's just one of the boys

I'll date for like a summer and I'll leave when I'm bored

This train is full of strangers but I might like him more

Said I might like him more yeah no I like him more

And that's just tough love

But I mean it really mean it

I'm not charmed so I'm leavin'

I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff

I guess it's always funny until it's not

When I left him there to feel it

Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' for

No chance I waste my twenties on random men

Not one of them is cooler than all my friends

And I hate to leave him bleedin'

But I know know what I'm leavin' for

We're walkin' by the river and I stop by the boats

At night it's kind of tempting just to see if you float

The benches by the Charles gave me somewhere to go

I feel like I'm home there's a bar down the road

I'm wasted with the sister of a boy that I met

Through someone back in college she's a weird intellect

She liked to tell the truth and she was harsh but direct

Her boyfriends all left she had that effect

But that's just tough love

And you're lucky to receive it right

He'll crumble to pieces

I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff

I guess it's always funny until it's not

When I left him there in pieces

Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' for

No chance I waste my twenties on random men

Not one of them is smarter than all my friends

And I hate to leave him bleedin'

But I know know what I'm leavin' for

Ooh

Oh I know know what I'm leavin' for

Mh

Oh I know know what I'm leavin'

No I'm not gonna miss the way he'd kick me in my bed while sleepin'

And I'm not gonna miss his ****ty friends and nights of their binge drinking

And I'm not gonna miss his old inflated ego shallow thinking

And I'm not gonna miss denying that I got my own damn reasons

I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff

I guess it's always funny until it's not

When I left him there to feel it

Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' for

No chance I waste my twenties on random men

Not one of them is tougher than all my friends

And I hate to leave him bleedin'

But I know know what I'm leavin' for
