Sorry Iâm so late
But Iâve been out a-walkinâ
Tryinâ to find a way to tell you
But I think you already know
I never want to hurt you
âCause darlinâ I still love you
But things arenât like they used to be
Itâs time for lettinâ go
I wasnât out there lookinâ
But a month ago last Sunday
I met someone just like you
In line at the grocery store
Weâve been spendinâ time together
Yea, she knows all about you
The truth is
She can give me
What you canât anymore
I know I promised you forever
I never thought Iâd see this day
If only I could write the pages
Our story wouldnât end this way
I feel so much better
Knowing we could have this moment
But it looks like
Itâs may rain soon
And itâs gettingâ kinda late
Honâ Iâll always bring you roses
Every time I come to visit
The caretakerâs waiting
They want to close the cave
I know I promised you forever
I never thought Iâd see this day
If only I could write the pages
Our story wouldnât end this way
It wouldnât end this way
