you used to say i had what it takes   i think i did if you meant too little too late   i can tell by the looks that i'm gettin'   i made some big mistakes   and i thought you said i was great      shoot straight and give it my best try   i made my heart as hard as nails   that may be the way you live your life   but it's almost got me killed      darling i'm not giving in   that happened miles ago   i heard the north star saying   kid you're so lost even i can't bring you home      did you think that we were going to last   honey you know you don't have to answer that   half of that was my kind of joke   i don't remember which half      i didn't know how blue i'd get   i didn't know how i'd get blamed for it   i didn't choose to go down this road   no one chooses to be sick      i'm saying everything is fine   by the look in my eye   but you know darling   half of what a man says is a lie      it's your last chance to forget me now   that it's done for good   you always said i'd make it out   somehow darling i knew i never would
