lyrics

I could hardly believe my eyes
Disobeying orders direct from my mind
Fighting myself off proved too hard that night
Just thinking I hope she won't know

But she'll break my heart ‘cause I broke hers before
But we'll understand though I just can't be sure
And everybody will have none to say
And no she wouldn't want it any other way

And that one day was supposed to change it all
And I should have known pride it comes before a fall
I cannot reason with my thought's brick wall
Just thinking I hope she won't have to go

I blindly followed what I thought I'd been promised
So hard to think that this would be laid to rest
I tried all paths but I was led to say
That no we couldn't have it any other way

Just hoping that one day all will be
Made clearer for me
All I want to know
Is where did we go? And darling should we have known?

And no we couldn't have it any other way
And she wouldn't want it any other way
And I wouldn't want it any other way
