Here I stand, paying tolls on roads I paved, am I man, enough to feel the roads I claimed

I don't want you to see me cry, and you wonder why I lie

Cause I didn't know when you were going, but I wanna see you grow

And we even tried long distance, it hurt me to my core, had a couple cries mincing

When I saw you lock that door, lock that door

When I saw you lock that door, I'm having trouble calming down

I don't wanna see you going south

Ever since you closed that door, the only thing I'm looking for

Is the bottom of the bottle, drink it till it's hard to swallow

Just so I don't have to feel no more

Your eyes like evergreen when you took everything, baby

And you burned it all down to smoke, that's when I hit the road

Tried to make it work in this broken home

But ever since you left I've been sitting here all alone

And we even tried long distance, it hurt me to my core, had a couple cries mincing

When I saw you lock that door, lock that door

When I saw you lock that door, I'm having trouble calming down

I don't wanna see you going south
