It should have been okay
It really should have been alright
There was just no foreseeing
How bad it would be that night

The sky didn't fall
And the lights stayed on
But the damage was done just the same
And she was gone, gone, gone

It started out small
As these things often do
But it grew larger every time I spoke
And then we were through

Oh sad day for me
I should have stayed in bed
Oh sad circumstance
It makes you wish you were dead

Oh sad day for me
I simply spoke without thought
Oh man what sad circumstance
Look at the trouble I've bought

I guess I lost my mind after that
And didn't talk to anyone at all
I was way down low and deep down blue
A stupid word and all it cost me was you

It should have been alright
It should have been okay
I should have bitten my tongue
And you would have stayed

Oh sad day
