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
