Goes Without Saying Lyrics

[Verse 1: Post Malone]
Coulda turned my whiskey and my Whitley
And my crazy down a notch
Coulda bought a few more dozen
From that on-my-way-home flower shop
Shoulda said I'm sorry
Finally got around to changing
Yeah, it goes without saying

[Chorus: Post Malone]
And it goes without saying
She ain't coming back
It goes without saying
She put me in the past
That train left the station
She didn't have to tell me why
There she goes without saying
Without saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

[Verse 2: Brad Paisley]
I coulda put her first, tucked in my shirt
And gone to church 'stead of staying out
Coulda told her not to go
And stopped her old red Honda leaving town
I could list a hundred reasons
Why she did the walking
But her taillights arе doing all the talking

[Chorus: Post Malone]
And it goes without saying
She ain't coming back
It goеs without saying
She put me in the past
That train left the station
She didn't have to tell me why
There she goes without saying
Without saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

[Bridge: Post Malone & Brad Paisley]
No See you around
No It's not you, it's me
No long-drawn-out
She kept it short and not so sweet

[Chorus: Post Malone & Brad Paisley]
And it goes without saying
She ain't coming back
It goes without saying
She put me in the past
And that train left the station
She didn't have to tell me why
There she goes without saying
Without saying goodbye
Goes without saying (Goes without saying)
Without saying goodbye
