Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Its been awhile since I spoke to you
So I thought that I would pick up the phone and give you a call
In spite of all the pain you caused inside my heart
(Pre-chorus)
You were once my wife and we really did spend the best years of our lives together
but it just goes to show that nothing good lasts forever
(Chorus)
I never thought that I could lose you to the arms of another man
I never thought you had it in you to hurt me like no other can
I never thought that I could ever leave you in spite of the circumstances
I always thought I could let you go, but my feelings just keep showing up from deep inside
I don't know that I could ever hide how I really feel inside
(Verse 2)
I still think about you, every once in awhile
I think about the good times, I use to know
when we were young and our love was just starting to grow
(Pre-chorus)
You were once my wife and we really did spend the best years of our lives together
but it just goes to show that nothing good lasts forever
(Chorus)
I never thought that I could lose you to the arms of another man
I never thought you had it in you to hurt me like no other can
I never thought that I could ever leave you in spite of the circumstances
I always thought I could let you go, but my feelings just keep showing up from deep inside
I don't know that I could ever hide how I really feel inside
(Outtro)
