Lyrics

I saw the car that you drive
Rolling down I45
And I began to wonder
Just how you've been

It's easy to see
You were hard to forget
I buried you deep
Cause it's all I have left
And I burned the letters
And pictures you sent

Behind every story
There's always a girl
Who steps in your life
And changes the world
Sometimes forever and
Sometimes for worse
You want to move forward
But you're stuck in reverse
With a memory of her
There's always a girl

You wanted to fly
So I gave you some wings
But you couldn't get high
And be bound to me
So I gave you your freedom
In spite of myself

The sky was your future
And I was your past
I stood there believing
That you would come back
So I burned all my bridges
Til nothing was left

Behind every story
There's always a girl
Who steps in your life
And changes the world
Sometimes forever and
Sometimes for worse
You want to move forward
But you're stuck in reverse
With a memory of her
There's always a girl

Spare the excuses and your alibis
All of the reasons and all of your lies
Don't say you're sorry
There's no need to call
Don't single me out
If you see me wherever you are
Just pretend I'm not there
Keep to yourself
If you cared at all

Behind every story
There's always a girl
Who steps in your life
And changes the world
Sometimes forever and
Sometimes for worse

Behind every story
There's always a girl
Who steps in your life
And changes the world
Sometimes forever and
Sometimes for worse
You want to move forward
But you're stuck in reverse

Behind every story
There's always a girl
Who steps in your life
And changes the world
Sometimes forever and
Sometimes for worse
You want to move forward
But you're stuck in reverse
With a memory of her
There's always a girl
