I was 17 and I thought you were one in a million

I never dreamed anyone (would) ever take you away

And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union

But I never thought I'd live to regret that day



* you put a scar on my heart I can't cover up and hide

I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside

** under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms

I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms



Every night you go out tell me it's with a friend

You come back late know you've seen him again

And at 29 I realize the dreaming has to end

Although I've lost your love still the ghost remains



* repeat

** repeat

Oh yeah
