Here is a story
about a boy and a girl
She woke up one morning
felt alone in this world
Despite the love for her
he couldn't keep her
from leaving again
She had to do it
She cried in the nights
he brought her flowers
in the daytime
She tried and she tried
to forget the past
and all her past crimes
Despite the love for her
he couldn't keep her
from leaving again
She had to do it
How could you shoot
a good man down
and leave without mourning
Broken-hearted on the ground
like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some elsewhere
He cried in the nights
she got no flowers
in the daytime
He gave up the fight
while she was out
committing new crimes
Despite the love for her
he couldn't keep her
from leaving again
She had to do it
How could you shoot
a good man down
and leave without mourning
Broken-hearted on the ground
like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some elsewhere
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some elsewhere
How could you shoot
a good man down
and leave without mourning
Broken-hearted on the ground
like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some elsewhere
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some elsewhere
How could you leave
without mourning
I'm like the others before me
