|
She was crying out my name
|
Standing in the driveway
|
Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and I
|
I still see the rain chasing tears down her face
|
|
It was back in October when I said it's over and hid
|
Behind the door
|
Behind the shame of my conviction
|
Bedside myself
|
Beside some empty pill prescription
|
|
Can hear her screamig' no
|
No baby don't, you making my heart hurt
|
Don't say those words
|
Take it back
|
You know you don't mean that
|
You swore when I wore your ring
|
It meant forever
|
I've got it on baby
|
How can you say I lost it
|
Oh, you promised
|
|
Started crying while I was sleeping
|
Waking up and reaching out
|
To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
|
So I gathered up some pictures
|
Said I had somethin to give her
|
I let her read a letter
|
I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot
|
I saw the tears
|
I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old
|
I heard her words
|
I heard her say it'll never work
|
|
And hit my knees and cried
|
No baby don't you're making my heart hurt
|
Don't say those words
|
Take it back
|
You know you don't mean it
|
You swore when you wore my ring
|
It meant forever
|
You've got it on baby
|
How can you say you lost it
|
Yeah and you promised
|
|
We were different people then
|
Look at all the hateful things we've said
|
And I'm just as guilty
|
But girl that's no way to be
|
Take it easy baby I'm still broken
|
Memories enough to tear me wide open
|
When you see me girl you curse my name
|
Makes me wanna say
|
|
No, no baby don't
|
You're making my heart hurt
|
Don't say those words
|
Take it back
|
You know you don't mean it
|
You know when you wore my ring
|
We said forever
|
But you took it off baby
|
Safe to say we're through
|
No matter what you do you know I'll always love
|
Well I have to
|
'Cause I promised
|
