You Chose Her

I saw a couple sitting down on a sidewalk bench
Laughing and talking like they were kids
They reminded me of us
Yeah, they were so in love
Walking along, playing our song
I saw a family walking, swinging their arms
And it took my breath
It got me dreaming, it got me thinking

That could be us someday, if you hadn't stayed
If you'd just walked away from her and all her lies
She just needed time
Oh, but you were just blind
I said it then and I'll say it now
She ain't worth your time or tears
Or the money you spent
For that ring on her hand
I'd have gave you everything I had and more
But you chose her

Now I'm sitting here on your wedding day
Looking through pictures, smiling away
At the memories we made
Thinking back to the days
When it was you and me and all our friends
Drunk somewhere at 2 a.m., lost in your eyes
And now I'm dreaming, it's got me thinking

That could be us someday, if you hadn't stayed
If you'd just walked away from her and all her lies
She just needed time
Oh, but you were just blind
I said it then and I'll say it now
She ain't worth your time or tears
Or the money you spent
For that ring on her hand
I'd have gave you everything I had and more
But you chose her

Now I'm driving around, passing through town
With the windows down and the music up real loud
With tears on my face, I'll admit it now

That could have been us someday, if I'd only stayed
If I'd have realized when I had time
But I was just blind
Yeah, you were right
I said it then and I'll say it now
I regret that day when I just walked away
And now I'm paying for it
I'd have gave you everything I had and more
But I shut that door
And now you chose her
