We got it wrong

We got it wrong

i wouldnt have said the things that i said
if i knew what it did inside
i wouldnt have done half the things that i did
if i knew how much u had cried
i would have held you much tighter
if only u had said what u need
i would have been loving and tender
not stood back and watched your heart bleed
i thought it was all over my lover
when all had gone stale and so cold
i thought it was over my lover
but you dreamed of us to grow old
i thought it best that we parted
and you agreed when we sat and we talked
but you cried like a river my darling
when i stood and turned and i walked
and i was sad to my sweet honey
that day on the forth of july
independence,my fookin a***hole
i wanted to lay down and die
