there he goes

there he goes, out of mind
that's what he chose, and there's no time
to bring back something that was never really there
there he goes, and she doesn't care

he's nursing that drink, like he knows how
but he's never really had one until now
that bitter taste of alcohol doesn't really take away
the bitterness of the words he heard her say

"I don't know you, I never have
It's all wrong, you're a different man
You might as well go, no need to stay
there is nothing really here for you anyway"
so there he goes

he stands to go, pays the tab
remembers the first time he wore his hat
now he's going to wear it in the night, all alone
there's no turning back, and no place to go

"I don't know you, I never have
It's all wrong, you're a different man
You might as well go, no need to stay
there is nothing really here for you anyway"
so there he goes

there he goes, out of mind
that's what he chose, and there's no time
to bring back something that was never really there
there he goes, and she doesn't care
there he goes, going nowhere
and now he's gone
