When I was younger, I made the mistake of falling in love.

I was only eighteen years old and I knew this girl.

She was five foot five

and when I saw her, I came alive.



Chorus:She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen

and she meant everything to me.

I should have been more honest with her from the start.

Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.



Recitation:I should've told her how I felt but I'd been hurt before

and this heart of mine couldn't take anymore.

Finally I got up the courage to go to her house and talk to her. But when I got there, she'd just eloped.

If I would've been honest with her from the start then maybe just maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.

My love for her grew day by day.

Now that I know that she's in his arms, the pain just won't go away.

When I think of how I got hurt, I begin to cry

and I just want to curl up and die.

Now I sit at home and drink my whiskey everyday.

Just trying to make the pain go away.

Now they'll be together until they die

and when I think of it, I break down and cry.



REPEAT CHORUS
