[Verse 1]
You always ask, "Why don't you write one
About me and everything we've done?
Boy, we got so many songs about broken hearts"
You didn't know, but I did it one night
I made sure that you were in every line
Spent all night gettin' it right on this guitar
I found it yesterday in a stack of old papers
I wish I coulda told me that a few months later
[Chorus]
I'd be readin' back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like "forever," "together," and "love"
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I wonder if I ever put it out
Would you tell your friends who it's really 'bout
Or would you skip it when it comes on the radio?
Then again, I should prolly throw it away
And just pretend I never meant what I had to say
'Cause it ain't like you will ever know
[Chorus]
I've been readin' back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like "forever," "together," and "love"
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense
[Bridge]
Like the day that you said you were leavin'
Been tryin' to find a rhyme to all your damn reasons
I wasted my time and a couple good years
All I got was a song no one will ever hear
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm readin' back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like "forever," "together," and "love"
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense
