The first night that we met
I pa**ed out on your floor
In the morning you were holding me tight
And I knew trouble was in store
Couldn't shake you with my drinking
Couldn't lose you with my lies
Seems that the less that I gave you
The more that I hurt you
The harder you'd try
Didn't know any other way
Love meant that you had to stay
So your daddy was a drinker
Did he pull your chain too tight?
Well I ain't no Freud
But there's got to be a reason
Why I'm your Mr. Right
Standin' here nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way
We got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I'm drinking like crazy
Tryin' to release the guilt
That's trapped in my heart
You got a quiet way of crying
Your heart holds back too much
You're too quick to forgive
And you're too quick to give out
An it's all right touch
And I know what you're gonna say
True love don't just walk away
We got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I'm drinking like crazy
Tryin' to release the guilt
That's trapped in my heart
We got that summer kind of sad
It's gone on way too long
Yeah you can't begin to know
You can never win
Against a sadness that strong
Standing here nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way
