Well since the last song
I've had time to think it over
A lot of tears, a lot a beer

But he'd leave the room and

With that broken glass in pieces
And you holding me and

Saying you were wrong
Well I'm tired of second chances
And these sad ass circumstances

And those wedding bells stopped ringing
I took my keys and

What a woman could ask for anymore
