Under the City Lights

I'm walking with a sad look on my face Tears in my eyes under the city lights Wondering how I'd have changed my ways To love her truly, and faithfully all her life Instead found myself holding someone else Watched two beautiful girls walk out on me Though, I should've went for some help Now, I'm just a phony, with nothing on my hands Trying to figure out what I could have done To stay loving the woman who showed me heaven The woman who proved she was the one By loving and holding me tight, every night She took the burden off my shoulders And always had faith in me. in everything Could have told the truth, but It'd hurt her Could have told lie, and break her heart They all seemed worse, nothing was left to do But somehow chose the wrong thing to say Set her free and gave her wings instead That's why I'm walking with sad look on my face Tears in my eyes under the city lights Wondering how I'd have changed my ways To love her truly, and faithfully all her life Instead found myself holding someone else Watched two beautiful girls walk out on me Drove out together under the city lights Holding hands all the way, into the night Feels like we're holding other's heart Lips pressed against her cherry lips Now every feeling has gotten away I've got nobody to hold tonight That's why I'm walking with sad look on my face Tears in my eyes under the city lights Wondering how I'd have changed my ways To love her truly, and faithfully all her life Instead found myself holding someone else Watched two beautiful girls walk out on me Under those city lights
