Left You for Her
I thought of her at night but I kept my dream a secret
I told myself it'd fade with time
She sang a siren song, talked of a future I believed
When I was in your arms she was on my mind
She promised me things you couldn't
Had me wanting things I shouldn't
Traded your love for a city limit sign
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
You had a 9 to 5 and a ring for my left hand
A life that would make daddy proud
Now I give her all my dollars, do all that she demands
She can tear me apart but she builds me up again
She's giving me a life you couldn't
Doing crazy things I wouldn't
If we had stuck it out would I be happy now?
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
Hearing her name makes you cringe
Like she some kind of evil
But it's not her fault
She just gave me a reason
I hate I brought you pain
But I'd do it all again for her
I'd do it all the same
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you
You wanted me to stay but I left you
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
I told myself it'd fade with time
She sang a siren song, talked of a future I believed
When I was in your arms she was on my mind
She promised me things you couldn't
Had me wanting things I shouldn't
Traded your love for a city limit sign
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
You had a 9 to 5 and a ring for my left hand
A life that would make daddy proud
Now I give her all my dollars, do all that she demands
She can tear me apart but she builds me up again
She's giving me a life you couldn't
Doing crazy things I wouldn't
If we had stuck it out would I be happy now?
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
Hearing her name makes you cringe
Like she some kind of evil
But it's not her fault
She just gave me a reason
I hate I brought you pain
But I'd do it all again for her
I'd do it all the same
You know I always loved you babe but the heart wants what it wants
You gave me solid ground but she gave me golden rush
No I didn't cheat, but I admit it wasn't pretty
You wanted me to stay but I left you
You wanted me to stay but I left you
You wanted me to stay but I left you for music city
