Sorry I'm so late

But I've been out a-walkin'

Tryin' to find a way to tell you

But I think you already know

I never want to hurt you

‘Cause darlin' I still love you

But things aren't like they used to be

It's time for lettin' go

I wasn't out there lookin'

But a month ago last Sunday

I met someone just like you

In line at the grocery store

We've been spendin' time together

Yea, she knows all about you

The truth is

She can give me

What you can't anymore

I know I promised you forever

I never thought I'd see this day

If only I could write the pages

Our story wouldn't end this way

I feel so much better

Knowing we could have this moment

But it looks like

It's may rain soon

And it's getting' kinda late

Hon' I'll always bring you roses

Every time I come to visit

The caretaker's waiting

They want to close the cave

I know I promised you forever

I never thought I'd see this day

If only I could write the pages

Our story wouldn't end this way

It wouldn't end this way
