| I’ve done wrong, and now I must pay
|
| Soon love will come to take love away
|
| But just before love ends
|
| I think of how it might have been
|
| The things I could have done, oh yeah
|
| To make the stay be a happy one for me
|
| My phone starts to ring (Hear my phone ringing)
|
| And I answer the call (Hello, my darling)
|
| Then a voice tells me (Telling me)
|
| «You hurt me, 'cause you did wrong
|
| I’ll be there soon
|
| What I must say won’t take long»
|
| She hangs up and my heart begins to pound (Begin to pound)
|
| 'Cause I’m gonna lose the one true love I found (Love I found)
|
| And just before love ends
|
| I think of how it might have been
|
| How different things might be, mmm
|
| If I had known how much she meant to me
|
| As the clock strikes four (Sooner become)
|
| I start to hurt much more (Take love away)
|
| 'Cause soon I know she’ll be (She'll be)
|
| Standing in front of me
|
| She’ll ask me why
|
| And then she’ll say goodbye
|
| Now I hear the sound of someone at my door (At my door)
|
| And I listen as the footsteps cross the floor (Cross the floor)
|
| And just before love ends
|
| I think about what could have been
|
| But time’s run out for me, mmhmm
|
| I want to change, but it’s much too late for me
|
| Now I know
|
| I could have made her so happy
|
| But instead I only brought her tears
|
| And the price I’ll pay
|
| For one wrong day
|
| Will be many lonely years
|
| (Many, many, many, many lonely years)
|
| As she walks straight up to me
|
| I see sadness in her eyes
|
| She starts to speak, but then she cries
|
| «It's so hard to say goodbye»
|
| Now, I await the pain I soon will feel (I will feel)
|
| A hurt that even time might never heal (Might never heal)
|
| But just before love ends, oh lawd
|
| I think about what might have been
|
| 'Cause soon love will be gone
|
| No second chance for the man who has done wrong
|
| Just, just before love ends
|
| Yeah, I think of how it might have been |
