The Note

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note

When you wrote that note what were you seeking
Did you think about what that question would bring
We told each other our dark secrets
Never dreamed how close we would get
It's like my ol Grandad would say
Don't lie there's less to remember that way

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note

The next note you wrote my heart hit the floor
I felt you didn't want me anymore
We were two trains heading down different tracks
Going down paths that we can't take back
Hardest words to swallow are ones left unsaid
So I asked Grandpa what was in his head
He sat me down and said Listen to me son
Sometimes we meet the wrong people for the right reasons

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note

Just like ole Gramps tried to get across
Every time a heart is broke a few pieces pieces get lost

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note

Next note took me by surprise
I know I can't live without you in my life
Thought I had a lifetime with you and me
If I knew how short we had I'd done things differently
Went down to the farm to ask ol Gramps
He said You only get a first try at a second chance
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
But don't know what you're missing 'til its found

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note

Don't know what you hoped
When you wrote that little note
Should have thought before you spoke
When you wrote that little note
