Me and you have seen better days
And it might just be too late
Your leaving and there's nothing left I can do
But you can take everything
Cause I know I'm still a man
There's more to me than what I can lose
(Just leave me my pen) Cause I need to get it out
(Won't see you again) I got so much to write about
(You filled up my head) and now it's my turn to put it down
And there's only one thing I can do

I gotta write this song, gotta find the words
Gotta do anything to make it work
I gotta get it out, gotta make it burn
So every time I think about you it wont hurt
You can have everything, keep the gifts, keep the rings
Keep the clothes and the keys to the Benz
But leave me my pen, pen, pen
Leave me my pen, pen, pen

I gave you everything and this aint nothing new to me
So really you aint taking nothing away
And the hurt that I feel inside
Is coming out through these words I write
My broken hearts got so much to say
(Just leave me my pen) Cause I need to get it out
(Wont see you again) I got so much to write about
(You filled up my head) and now it's my turn to put it down
And there's only one thing I can do

I gotta write this song, gotta find the words
Gotta do anything to make it work
I gotta get it out, gotta make it burn
So every time I think about you it wont hurt
You can have everything, keep the gifts, keep the rings
Keep the clothes and the keys to the Benz
But leave me my pen, pen, pen
Leave me my pen, pen, pen

Now baby you know it's over
And weren't you the one who told me so
And I ain't gonna be that shoulder
For you to cry on when you hear this on the radio
(Whoa whoa whoa)
When you hear this on the radio
(Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa)

I gotta write this song, gotta find the words
Gotta do anything to make it work
I gotta get it out, gotta make it burn
So every time I think about you it wont hurt
You can have everything, keep the gifts, keep the rings
Keep the clothes and the keys to the Benz
But leave me my pen, pen, pen
Leave me my pen, pen, pen
