Written with an ex-girlfriend, dedicated to an ex-wife

lyrics

If I'd been born with just an ounce of smarts
I'd a turned around and run for parts
Unknown but to the darkest hearts
We'd never seen before
I wish I'd thought one minute more
I wish that I had known before
I walked down that road along with you
But time won't turn back again
It's through when it's through

Every day I walk a mile
I have to stop and think a while
Of all the things I left behind
Try to put it from my mind
Far away and far along
How could I have been so wrong
To walk down that road along with you
So hard to consider that it's true
A woman I wish I'd never knew

I wish I'd never
I wish I'd never
I wish I'd never seen a day
We were together

All the times that I look back
It seems that there was just no lack
Of things we said and never meant
Places that we never went
If I could leave it all behind
I would never change my mind
Cause I could never walk again with you
Oh I could never say again I do
Those years are never comin' back
It's true

What's it take to let go even sooner
If I could just walk by like I never knew her
Hard as it seems
I know there'll come a day
But til then I just can't stay
No I can't stay
Oh no I can't stay
