[Chorus:]
|
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
|
I would be sad because the lies that you had told.
|
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore.
|
I would be sad because the love I had before.
|
|
I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you although I know it's not something that you were asking me to do.
|
And I know we are young but we won't always be, so marry me; lets not be that predictable young couple changing, moving on.
|
But I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through.
|
The odds are so against us; you know most young love it ends like this.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
|
I would be sad because the lies that you had told.
|
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore.
|
I would be sad for all the love I had before.
|
|
I meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and change for you.
|
You know me; I've always been the kind with easy confidence.
|
Confident enough to honestly beleive that nothing out there stopping me especially not someone who's not loving me.
|
Now listen here I told you I could live on with out loving you.
|
I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth.
|
Well my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done and hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come."
|
And he said, "If she doesn't call, then it's her fault and it's her loss."
|
I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
|
I would be sad for the lies that you had told.
|
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adored.
|
I would be sad for all the love I had before.
|
I would be sad for all the love I had before.
