I don't wanna stay 'til the lights come on
I just can't relate to the words of this love song
What's it gonna take to right all the wrongs?
'Cause, right now, I can't give you what you want

Everybody's still dancin'
Everybody's holding hands and romancin'
Someone's gotta be the last one standin'
And I hate that I'm leaving you stranded
But I gotta hit the road
But I gotta hit the road

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it
Goodbye doesn't hurt if I don't say it
And I really hope you'll understand it
Only way to go is a French exit

French exit
Slip away without saying goodbye
French exit

Maybe time away will make it make sense
I'm better at a clean break than leaving doors open
I know you're gonna say I shoulda stayed 'til the end
But right now I can't give you what you want

Everybody's still dancin'
Everybody's holding hands and romancin'
Someone's gotta be the last one standin'
And I hate that I'm leaving you stranded
But I gotta hit the road
Yeah, I gotta hit the road

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it
Goodbye doesn't hurt if I don't say it
And I really hope you'll understand it
Only way to go is a French exit

And you know, you know, you know, you know I'm right
And it's better to do this than say goodbye
And the only, only, only fix is time
And a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it
Goodbye doesn't hurt
If I don't say it (and you know, you know, you know, you know I'm right)
And I really hope you'll understand it (you know, you know, you know, you know)
Only way to go is a French exit

French exit
Slip away without saying goodbye
French exit
It's the only solution
French exit
French exit
