[Verse 1] I remember being told I wasn't good enough for him And that he was bound to let me go Now I believed that he was for real and it wasn't just a show But he disagreed and he was sure to let me know [Chorus] And so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand Alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall Oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh [Verse 2] Does he remember being told he could have so much more than me? That's the question everyone will pose With his piercing green eyes and the hazelnut hair And a sunshine smile of gold I cannot compete with them, and he knows [Chorus] And so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand Alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall Oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh [Bridge] But it was his fault, no, I did not do anything wrong I was prepared to love him with all of my heart Yes, he's the one who missed out on me and though I can't say he's wrong I was hoping I could get a little more that being left alone [Chorus] And so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand Alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall Oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh
