When I was younger, I made the mistake of falling in love.
I was only eighteen years old and I knew this girl.
She was five foot five
and when I saw her, I came alive.

Chorus:She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen
and she meant everything to me.
I should have been more honest with her from the start.
Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.

Recitation:I should've told her how I felt but I'd been hurt before
and this heart of mine couldn't take anymore.
Finally I got up the courage to go to her house and talk to her. But when I got there, she'd just eloped.
If I would've been honest with her from the start then maybe just maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.
My love for her grew day by day.
Now that I know that she's in his arms, the pain just won't go away.
When I think of how I got hurt, I begin to cry
and I just want to curl up and die.
Now I sit at home and drink my whiskey everyday.
Just trying to make the pain go away.
Now they'll be together until they die
and when I think of it, I break down and cry.

REPEAT CHOR
