i should have seen it coming when the roses died

should have seen the end of summer in your eyes

i should have listened when you said goodnight

you really meant goodbye

and baby ain't it funny

how you never ever learn to fall

you're really on your knees

when you think you're standing tall

but only fools are know it alls

and i played that fool for you

i cried and i cried

there were nights that i died for you baby

i tried and i tried to deny

that your love drove me crazy baby

if the love that i got for you's gone

if the river i cried ain't that long

then i'm wrong yeah i'm wrong

this ain't a love song

baby i thought you and me would stand the test of time

like we got away with the perfect crime

but we were just a legend in my mind

i guess that i was blind

remember those nights dancing at the masquerade

the clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade

you and i were the renegades

some things never change

it made me so mad cause i wanted it bad for us baby

now it's so sad that whatever we had ain't worth saving oh

if the love that i got for you's gone

if the river i cried ain't that long

then i'm wrong yeah i'm wrong

this ain't a love song

if the pain that i'm feeling so strong

is the reason that i'm holding on

then i'm wrong yeah i'm wrong

this ain't a love song
