Pretty Girl From Michigan - The Avett Brothers

Can you not see

What you’ve done

You gave your heart away like that I didn’t want to fall

In love

With anyone but you did.

I can still hear

The song

The melody behind the kiss you gave me,

You were wrong

I was right so I walked away.

And left you there,

alone,

I got so tired of talking on the telephone.

How many times would we say the words «Goodbye»?

I made mistakes

and one

was telling you that I’d be there when telling-time had come.

I should’ve said I didn’t care.

Oh the time I would have saved

If I had been less willing to accomodate.

You’d been a little less likely to cry.

You go back to the high life

And I’ll go back to the low.

I should’ve known

But now I know.

There’ll be no words

from you

Describing how it felt to go through what I put you through.

It all makes perfect sense.

The way you cut

The rope

That kept you dangling from such bitter full amounts of hope.

I would have cut it too.
