lyrics

I don't know about this crazy notion
that he was the right man from the start
you know he lies to me just to keep from talking
about all the things that are tearing us apart

he knows the way to make me go crazy
he can tear me down with just the slightest touch
and it makes me sick when he comes home and says to me
"girl I love you but I think we've had enough"

take me back to the place I was before
back when all of this was still new
when my man first had the thought that I was the one
I could look him in the eyes and I could break his heart in two

so now hes gone and I'm here all alone
he made it my fault when the blame was his
and I tried to be the good woman I knew I was
but meanwhile he had another wife and another kid

about two years gone by when I got the news
he took it upon himself with his old man's gun
he left a note that read "I'm sorry girl"
and even though he lived alone he addressed it to 'my love'

now that he's gone for good I can't help but cry
even though that man made me mad no man deserves to die
I can't look back now with fond memories
cause they died with him they were never a part of me
