Lyrics

I looked all over my life, couldn’t figure out a thing
The boring story of the girl that got away
And if I could I’d explain it, can’t find the words to say it
I wish I could rewind my life and replay it
So much I would change, different things I would do
I had to fall in love with a woman like you
I’m not saying that it’s bad, it’s just a little sad
Every time I think about the life we could have had
I know it’s in the past, gone like yesterday
It’s just another damn game that I don’t want to play
I’m surrounded by the memories, of a love I thought would last
The best part of my life disappeared too fast

And the pain that I feel today
I just never thought you’d leave that way
It’s a little too much to take
I’d go to Hell with you for Heaven’s sake

As I drive around this town, an ugly face on my frown
Sometimes I wish that I was 6ft underground
But while I’m here I’ll try to cope, guess there’s still a little hope
I finally got a day off so I bought a bag of dope
As I walk along the street, the people that I meet
Seem to be another broken reflection of me
So can I bother you awhile? Tell me where you got your smile
I can’t find one at all, have they gone out of style?
I was blind, I couldn’t see, you saw it all along
You knew someday that I would have to write this song
When you said we’ll still be friends, I knew it was the end
I couldn’t change your mind, iron bars don’t bend

And the pain I feel today
I just never thought you’d leave that way
It’s a little too much to take
I’d go to Hell with you for Heaven’s sake
