pretty girl from michigan
Can you not see what you've done? You gave your heart away like that. I didn't want to fall in love with anyone, but you did. I can still hear the song, The melody behind the kiss you gave me. You were wrong, I was right so I walked away, And left you there, alone I got so tired of talkin' on the telephone, How many times would we say the words goodbye  I made mistakes, and one was telling you that I'd be there, When telling time had come, I should've said I didn't care. Oh, the time I would have saved, If I had been less willing to accommodate, You'd been a little less likely to cry.  You go back to the high life, And I'll go back to the low. I should've known, but now I know  There'll be no word from you, Describing how it felt to go through what I put you through. It all makes perfect sense. The way you cut the rope, That kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope I would have cut it too.
