You said it out of love
You said that we would never fall apart
You said I’d never lose you
You said that it would never be this hard
But you, could see right through me

Rode down to Opelousas
Rode down there with the devil on my back
Well, I caught a train to Nashville
I caught it and I'm never coming back
'Cause you, did something to

I could go anywhere, like you’ve always gone
I would do anything, to get you home
I’d even break a heart, hell I’d break two
If only I could stop the pain, of loving you

You said I was your lover
You said that I would never be your friend
You said I’d never lose you
And that we’d be together in the end
But you, could see right through me

Woke up before the dawning
Woke up before the Sun was in the sky
My heart was full of yearning
I called your name but there was no reply
'Cause you, did something to

I could go anywhere, like you’ve always gone
I would do anything, to get you home
I’d even break a heart, hell I’d break two
If only I could stop the pain, of loving you
