A tongue-in-cheek country & western song about falling for the wrong guy.
The time has come, I know it’s over
But to talk away is the hardest part of all
Cos you reeled me in, with your loving whispers
But the higher you took me, the further I’d fall.
Why did I fall in love, it shouldn’t have been
With so much between us, I should have heeded the signs
But fate can be fickle and our weakness so strong
And our vision too blinkered, to read between the lines
The time has come, I know it’s over
But to talk away is the hardest part of all
Cos you reeled me in, with your loving whispers
But the higher you took me, the further I’d fall.
I clearly mistook, your charming offensive,
As much more than, you intended it be
You took my emotions, and cast them aside
With my rose coloured specs on, I just couldn’t see
This story’s old, but never ending
The players are many, the winners are few
Cos we go on pretending, to be someone special
In search of that someone, who’s perfect for you.
The time has come, I know it’s over
But to talk away is the hardest part of all
Cos you reeled me in, with your loving whispers
But the higher you took me, the further I’d fall.
Yes, the higher you took me, the further I’d fall.
