He brought her flowers in the daytime
He gave up the fight while she was out comitting new crimes
Despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it.
How could you shoot a good man down?
Leave with a mourning
Brokenhearted on the ground
Like the others before him
A burden heavy as a rock
ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
and regret it some-else-where
