I was a little bit surprised to see you cryin' over me
When it comes to goin', honey, you're the king
I bet I watched you walk away a hundred times before
Yeah, you just about wore the hinges right off of the door
You taught me well, that much is true
I earned my degree in this lonely school

I learned everything I know about leavin' from you

I was just a baby when ya got me kinda crazy 'bout you
Back then I didn't know nothin', now I know a thing or two
Like how to pull an alibi right out of thin air
And how to tell an outright lie and sound sincere
I learned my lesson just to let you know
Now the time has come for me to go

I learned everything I know about leavin' from you
I learned everything I know about leavin' from you

Well, you taught me how to cheat, you taught me how to lie
You taught me how to break a heart and look him in the eye
You showed me how to get a bridge to burn
And ain't it strange how the tables turned

I learned everything I know about leavin' from you
I learned everything I know about leavin' from you
