there's an old song playing on the radio
the words are sad, the beat is slow
its echoing through the catacombs
of this empty shell that used to be home

it reminds me of your pretty face
that i seem to have lost in time and space
but i've got this hole, burning in my soul
cause i gave it all up for rock and roll

i said goodbye to these four walls
goodbye to this small town
turn it up til my ears bleed
i'm leaving this small town
i said hello to my heartache
i'll be weeping in my dreams
goodbye to my teenage queen

well there's a red stoplight right up ahead
and there's movies going on in my head
of you and me, what used to be
i'd give it all up to have you here with me

but i made my choice, and that choice was wrong
so i'll try to make it up to you in a song
give me one more chance, one more slow dance
or kill me off like this romance

i said goodbye to these four walls
goodbye to your eyes brown
turn it up til my ears bleed
i'm leaving this small town
i said hello to my heartache
i'll be weeping in my dreams
goodbye to my teenage queen

i said hello to my heartache
well hello mister heartache
i said hello to my heartache

i said goodbye to these four walls
goodbye to your eyes brown
turn it up til my ears bleed
i'm leaving this smalltown
i said goodbye to these four walls
goodbye to your eyes brown
turn it up til my ears bleed
i'm leaving this small town
i said hello to my heartache
i'll be weeping in my dreams
goodbye to my teenage queen
