Your suitcase has been packed for a week I know you won't admit it, but it's true The alcohol has forced me to speak Through tears I'm trying to see your point of view Denver could not have been any farther I can't make you give up what you want Now I can't hear the word 'Colorado' without thinking about your hands And I've smashed every empty bottle like the way you smashed all our plans If you came back home tomorrow you would beg for a second chance But you won't You were halfway to Colorado when we spoke I don't know when you got the call But I know you had your reasons to keep it to yourself I didn't make it easy at all I know you had been dreaming, I never gave you help Denver, I'm a mess when I'm not with her Please don't let her fill your cup with gin Now I can't hear the word 'Colorado' without thinking about your hands And I've smashed every empty bottle like the way you smashed all our plans If you came back home tomorrow you would beg for a second chance But you won't You were halfway to Colorado when we spoke So I'm driving to Colorado I'm not stopping along the way There's a goddamn empty bottle that's taking up your space I know you said not to follow, you were leaving to run away So I won't I'll go lose myself in the Colorado smoke
