Hang
(R. Thomas)
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You, 1996

She grabs her magazines
she packs her things and she goes
she leaves the pictures hanging on the wall
she burns all her notes
and she knows

She's been here too few years
to feel this old

He smokes his cigarette
stays outside 'til it's gone
if anybody ever had a heart he wouldn't be alone
and he knows

She's been here too few years
to be gone

(chorus)
We always say
it would be good to go away
someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you
I'll just hang

The trouble understand
is she got reasons he don't
funny how he couldn't see at all
until she grabbed up her coat
and she goes

she's been here too few years
to take it all in stride
but still it's much too long
to let hurt go
(you let her go)

(chorus)

And we always say
it would be good to go away
someday
but if things don't work out like we think
and there's nothing there to ease this ache
if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang.
