Break Up In a Small Town

I knew I'd see her around
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
And I'd act like I didn't see her

We pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
Slow down for the same curves
Run around the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
Thought I would be fine, but maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought

She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around

But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town

For a while, I guess they were keeping it low-key
But now it's like these county lines are closing in on me
I see 'em everywhere together
And it's hitting a little too close to home

She's so far gone, but she didn't go far
She was over me before the grass grew back
Where she used to park her car
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
In someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought

She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around

But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town

Your mailbox is 7 minutes from mine
And I drive into town
Sometimes I see you sittin' there with him
And I wanna jump out
I wanna fight
And I wanna say, that guy, but I can't
It's my fault and I let her go
I never thought

She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around

But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town
