[Verse 1]
I should have
seen it coming
when the rose
s died,
should have se
en the end of
the summer in
your eyes
I should have
listened when
you said good
night you real
ly meant goodb
ye
Baby ain't it
funny, how you
ever learn to
fall
You're really
on your knees,
when you thin
k you're stand
ing tall
But only fools
are 'know-it-
alls' and I pl
ayed that fool
for you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I cried and I
cried there we
re nights that
I died for yo
u baby
I tried and I
tried to deny
that your love
drove me craz
->
y, baby
[Chorus]
If the love th
at I got for y
ou is gone, if
the river I c
ried ain't tha
t long
Then I'm wrong
, yeah I'm wro
ng, this ain't
a love song
[Verse 2]
Baby, I though
t you and me w
ould stand the
test of time
Like we got aw
ay with the pe
rfect crime,
But, we were j
ust a legend i
n my mind I gu
ess that I was
blind
Remember those
nights dancin
g at the masqu
erade,
The clowns wor
e smiles that
wouldn't fade
You and I were
the renegades
, some things
never change
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It made me so
mad 'cause I w
anted it bad f
or us baby
Now it's so sa
d that whateve
r we had, ain'
t worth saving
-> Lick 1
[Chorus]
If the love th
at I got for y
ou is gone, if
the river I c
ried ain't tha
t long
Then I'm wrong
, yeah I'm wro
ng, this ain't
a love song
[Chorus 2]
If the pain th
at I'm feeling
so strong, is
the reason th
at I'm holding
on
Then I'm wrong
, yeah I'm wro
ng, this ain't
a love song -
