Lyrics
If I were smart I would kiss you on the cheek
Catch myself a Greyhound, ride it for a week
I would love to learn to love some time apart... If only I were smart
If I were smart I would point my car down South
Leave my stuff in storage, learn to shut my mouth
I would make myself make a brand-new start
If only I were smart
Walk right out that door
I won't fight anymore
No more nights like before
and no more broken hearts
If only I were smart
If I were smart I would turn around this moment
Find a worthier opponent, Leave the battle while I can
If I were smart I would shoot for better aim
I would turn around again, till I could craft a better plan
I could see the time has come for us to part
Try to find a way to make the ending start
If only I were smart
If I were smart
I would walk right out that door...
