about

better to have loved and lost? maybe. dumber to have loved and then thrown it away.

lyrics

We ran free through the streets at midnight,
Climbing trees
And making promises.
But I got scared,
Said we'd better break up.
Oh I still cared but broke all my promises.

She was the one who got away,
My regret to this day.
She was the one I should have begged to stay.

All her tears cut me into pieces.
I let fear kill off those promises.
So I ran to the streets on my own,
Frightened man who won't keep promises.

She was the one who got away,
My regret to this day.
She was the one I should have begged to stay.
