You always ask, "Why don't you write one About me and everything we've done? Boy, we got so many songs about broken hearts" You didn't know, but I did it one night I made sure that you were in every line Spent all night gettin' it right on this guitar I found it yesterday in a stack of old papers I wish I coulda told me that a few months later I'd be readin' back everything I wrote that night From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes There's words like "forever", "together", and "love" I guess you plus me just didn't add up Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then Oh, but now you're gone So this song don't make no sense
♪ Sometimes I wonder if I ever put it out Would you tell your friends who it's really 'bout Or would you skip it when it comes on the radio? Then again, I should prolly throw it away And just pretend I never meant what I had to say 'Cause it ain't like you will ever know I'd be readin' back everything I wrote that night From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes There's words like "forever", "together", and "love" I guess you plus me just didn't add up Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then Oh, but now you're gone So this song don't make no sense Like the day that you said you were leavin' Been tryin' to find a rhyme to all your damn reasons I wasted my time and a couple good years All I got was a song no one will ever hear Yeah, I'm readin' back everything I wrote that night From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes There's words like "forever", "together", and "love" I guess you plus me just didn't add up Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then Oh, but now you're gone So this song don't make no sense
