When You Said It's Over
When you said it was over
I nearly crumbled to my feet
How could you look me in the eyes
When you said you would never leave?
I made a promise to God
That I would cherish you
That I'd treat you right
But how could I win this battle
When you left me without a fight?
I chased and chased
I cried rivers for you at night
But all you can do
Is look for someone new
You ask:
Why?
Why don't you understand?
Why can't you get out my life?
Because your heart is always searching
When your home is right here...
With your wife
When you said it was over
I thought it was a lie before
But now I realize
I can't keep you trapped
If you already have one foot out the door
When you said it was over
I wanted to fix my flaws
Make it right...
But you can't trust an unsure heart
To come home to you at night
So now that it's over
Yes sometimes I still do wanna cry
But with a light-switch relationship
It sounds better to just say
Goodbye
