Titled - His Song - Her Song
Copyright 2006
His Song:
She was to blame
It was such a shame
I didn't know what to do
But I know it's your fault too
You were a lying whore
You walked right out the door
I couldn't take your shit no more
Because I never knew what it was for.
No matter what I said or did
You made it sound like I was to blame
You wouldn't take responsibility
And you just pointed to me in shame
I thought you were telling me a lie
I wasn't happy with you anyway
I wanted out of this crap romance
And if I stayed, I think I'd die
No matter what I could say or do
It didn't do any help for me or you
I'm glad I walked out when I could
Because I don't think that you would.
Her Song:
It was your fault
That our relationship came to an end
You would never take the blame
And you walked out on me that day
I never knew why it came to an end
But you always put the blame on me
I wasn't always the one that was wrong
But I look and know that you're gone
I tried in anger to be mad at you
But all I could do was be sad
I cried the day you left
And there is an empty hole in my heart
I look back in anger
I know that it was not my fault
I know that no matter what happened
You never would take the blame
You lied to me
You never were honest with me
You couldn't look me in the eye
And you said you'd leave rather than die
I'm glad you're gone
No matter what you said
If I had stayed together with you
I know I would have wound up dead.

The New Song:
I look back at the life I had at home
I don't know what went wrong
You walked out the door
And left us all alone
I loved you more than you knew
But you never gave me that chance
I hope before the end of my life
I get that one last dance
I lived in a haze
Throughout my life you were gone
I look back and wish you were here
And I still wonder what went wrong
I love you
More than you could ever know
But you never told me why you left
And I think I deserve to know
You broke her heart
When you walked out the door
And you broke mine too
Because you never told me why
I thought it was my fault
Something I did or said
The things I kept telling myself
The voices in my head
I wish you would have said goodbye
I wish you would have told me that
Because I wonder if things were different
What might have been.
