Pretty Girl From Michigan
The Avett Brothers
Can you not see what you’ve done? You gave your heart away like that. I didn’t want to fall in love with anyone but you dear. I can still hear the song the melody behind the kiss you gave me you were wrong I was right so I walked away and left you there alone I got so tired of talking on the telephone how many times would we say the words "Good bye?" I made mistakes and one was telling you that I’d be there when telling time (?) had come I should have said I didn’t care. All the time I would have saved If I had been less willing to accommodate you’d been a little less likely to cry. You go back to the high life and I’ll go back to the low. I should have known But now I know. There’ll be no word from you describing how it felt to go through what I put you through It all makes perfect sense the way you cut the rope that kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope I would have cut it too.
