When you came around
I felt inclined
To spend my time
Out on the line
Dust off this heart
And see what I'd find
I thought maybe I'd get it right this time

And when you stayed around
I left behind
The fear that good love
I would never find
Somehow I had you:
The best of our kind
I swear on my life, I had it all at that time

But I went away for weeks at a time
“Sorry” I'd say, the same tired line
Now I stand here alone
Just me and the lights
Dreaming ‘bout days
That should have been
More nights with you

And when you left town
---
I lost my mind
I'd sworn on my life
That I'd get it right this time
Well damn that this song
Proves I was wrong
And damn that I'm here
Same as I feared
Just me and the lights
Dreaming ‘bout days that should have been more nights 
with you
They should have been more nights with youÂ…
