A bottle of wine
Will give me the time
To make up my mind
And put this behind

I know I'm not blind
And here's what I find
Our stars did align
For just a brief time


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news


I have to move on
I waited too long
We sang all our songs
You just don't belong

I need to be strong
You knew all along
I've done nothing wrong
Don't wanna prolong


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news


So this is goodbye
No reason to cry
We gave it a try
But things went awry

I'll look to the sky
To answer me why
It won't simplify
But may fortify


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news


A bottle of wine
Will give me the time
To make up my mind
And put this behind

I know I'm not blind
And here's what I find
Our stars did align
For just a brief time


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news 


I have to move on
I waited too long
We sang all our songs
You just don't belong

I need to be strong
You knew all along
I've done nothing wrong
Don't wanna prolong


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news


So this is goodbye
No reason to cry
We gave it a try
But things went awry

I'll look to the sky
To answer me why
It won't simplify
But may fortify


(Chorus)
I paid all my dues
Then found all those clues
They led me to you
So what did I do?
I still had to choose
But then you refuse
You give me the blues
You're yesterday's news
