I should've been gone
when I first met you
for you to carry on
knowing you weren't true.
If I had known
from the start
you wanted to be alone
your smile should've never played a part.
Also to know that your
love wasn't there
I've opened the door
the door of your nightmare.
Now I know that you're cruel
how cruel can you be
next time I won't be the fool
promise you that you see.
I'll be standing tall
yes you'll be totally lost
then who will you call?
Brought this on yourself
as you now realize
put love on the shelf
both said our goodbyes.
Seen you leave
found someone knew
so if you ever grieve
remember it could've been you.
Once you knew about
who had loved me more
you wanted to work things out
told you before there's the door.
Just stop & think
of what you could've had
you made the love sink
ruined it too badly.
