I was a fool from the word go...
  
   "Go on and go", I had to say
   "Don't let the screen door hit you as you walk away,
   Go Ahead and make your brand new life.
   I won't lose any sleep without you in mine."
  
   Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
   I'd never ever say something crazy like that
   I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
   Oh, I was a fool from the word go
  
   "Go on and take our pictures down off the wall
   (off the, off the, off the wall)
   And pack up your cat-I won't miss that at all
   Well, go ahead and take the dreams that we shared
   You never look back-well, see if I care."
  
   Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
   I'd never ever say something crazy like that
   I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
   Oh, I was a fool from the word go
  
   "So go on and go", I heard myself say
   In a moment of pride my world slipped away
  
   Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
   I'd never ever say something crazy like that
   I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
   Oh, I was fool from the word go
   From the word go...
