She said, "I'll see you later boy,
right now I've got to go",
he said, "I'll wait right here",
but he knew she wouldn't show,
'cause it's a scenario,
he's been through before,
they say they're coming back,
then they walk right out the door,
Never to return,
they're never comin' back,
by now you'd think he'd learn,
that it's pointless keeping track,
of all those could've beens, should've beens,
he knows they never would've been,
so he's giving up tonight,
he's just tired of this fight,
Some years later,
in a brand new town,
he has met a new girl,
who says she'll stick around,
but just a few weeks later,
she's nowhere to be found,
now he cries all night,
haunted by this sound,
"She'll never return,
she's never comin' back,
by now you should have learned,
that it's pointless keeping track,
of all those could've beens, should've beens,
you knew you never would've been",
so he's giving up tonight,
he's just too tired to fight,
He's giving up on love,
he found a brand new friend,
one that's made of steel,
instead of human skin,
he's got a bullet in the chamber,
his finger clinches tight,
he made a fist in anger,
now he doesn't have to fight,
With why they never would return,
why they're never comin' back,
I guess he finally learned,
it was pointless keeping track,
of all those could've beens, should've beens,
he knew they never would've been,
so he just gave up tonight,
he finally lost the fight...
