My Truly Biggest Mistake
I made such a tremendously big mistake
which caused me the greatest heartache
Letting her go became my saddest regret
this woman, Samantha, I will never forget
For her, this job offer came out of the blue
"Jimmy, I don't know what to do!"
"Sam, this is what you've worked so hard for,
it's a prestigious position that you can't ignore!"
As she was leaving, we kissed, held each other tight
I began crying as she drove out of sight
I knew what I wanted to say
"Please Samantha don't go, please just stay!"
I knew that my life would never be the same
I am the only one to shoulder the blame
Those words I truly wanted to say came much too late
and because of that, I have truly sealed my fate
Oh, what a very huge mistake I made
those memories we spent together, will never fade!
