In the shadows of a smoky bar, I sip my drink, Thinking ‘bout the roads we walked, the love we used to link. A message lights my screen, my heart skips a beat, It’s you saying thanks, but it cuts me deep. Outlaw Romeo, I played my part, But you took the blame, broke my heart. So thank you for the memories, the love we threw away, Thank you for the lesson, I learned the hard way. Thank you for the heartbreak, it made me strong, Thank you for the silence, though it felt so wrong. Years gone by, but the pain remains, You talk about dreams lost, in the pouring rain. You thanked me for the silence, the choices I made, Oh, the outlaw in me, it’s the price that I paid. Every tear, every sigh, Were echoes of a love that failed to fly. In a smoky bar, sipping whiskey alone, The ghosts of memories cut right to the bone. I see her name light up on my cracked old phone, A text from the past, now chillin' to the bone. Outlaw Romeo, always played the fool, Haunted by the past, yeah, I broke the rule. Thank you, outlaw Romeo, for killing this flame, For trading our love, for vanity and shame. I’m standing on the edge, with nothing to lose, Hoping you remember when we danced in the blues. "Thank you for letting everybody down," she said, "You gave up on us, it's like I’m dead. You tossed away dreams, laid them to rest, Look what you lost, you could've been the best." But here I am, drowning in my pride, Wondering if you still think of me, inside. In the shadows of the pines where I drink my pain, A ghost from my past, she calls my name again, Years of silence wrapped in this whiskey haze, But her words cut deep, like a fire’s blaze. Outlaw Romeo, yeah that’s how they see me, But the heartache’s real, can’t you feel me? Thank you outlaw Romeo for letting them down, Thank you for fading like smoke in this town, Thank you for giving up on the life we planned, Thanks for reminding me, do you miss me again? Sending texts of bitterness like daggers through time, Reminding me of dreams shattered, lost in the grime, Thanks for the memories, but they tied me down, You built me up just to watch me drown. In this dirty south, where the sun don’t shine, Just echoes of the love we left behind. Thank you outlaw Romeo for letting them down, Thank you for fading like smoke in this town, Thank you for giving up on the life we planned, Thanks for reminding me, do you miss me again? So thank you again, for this twisted run, Are you missing me again, or just having fun? Thank you, outlaw Romeo, for killing this flame, For trading our love, for vanity and shame. I’m standing on the edge, with nothing to lose, Hoping you remember when we danced in the blues. "Thanks for reminding me of what we could’ve been, Are you missing me again, baby, are you missing me again?" I’ll say it one more time, in case you forgot, Are you missing me again, or is that all you got?
