I Broke Every Rule In the Book

The sound of that door slamming I still smell your perfume Lord it's hard to imagine What I'm going to do You told me you were leaving Time after time I never thought I’d see You ever say goodbye Cause you gave and you gave And I took all you had I broke your heart Made you fighting mad Looking back it all seems so cruel All the lies, all the tears All the years and the fears All your joy in life seemed to disappear God I'll never forget that look I broke every rule in the book All your friends thought you were crazy I caused your mom and dad much pain I slammed a couple shots But nothing could ease my shame Leaving early every morning Staying out drinking late at night You still told me you loved me By candle light You did your best to see it through I stole your love - and what was left of you Cause you gave and you gave And I took all you had I broke your heart Made you fighting mad Looking back it all seems so cruel Yea baby I know I'm the fool All the lies, all the tears All the years and the fears All your joy in life seemed to disappear God I'll never forget that look I broke every rule in the book You said goodbye without a look I broke every rule in the book
