Story Behind The Song

Story of a breakup (seeing girlfriend's in driveway of her ex), and the realization that you're now much better off without her.

Lyrics

Mark my words: this will be the last song that I write for her...for her

It began so well. She was the girl I always dreamed of
By minute 10 I was already in love - and I was in trouble
She loved to dance, but could start a fight without blinking
Spend all afternoon drinking red wine from the bottle
And I was blind love drunk - it's a shame, it's a pity
She was mean but forgivable pretty - and she knew it

It ended. I prayed that one day
I would be able to turn to her and say -

"I thank you - strange but it's true,
for taking and breaking my heart in 2000 little pieces"

What a hit - like a slap in the face one dark night
And then I finally saw the light of her car in his driveway
I called it quits, said I could no longer keep trying
For the first time I saw her crying. It was a new day -

Years later, we met by surprise
The ring on my finger, the look in her eyes
She started to walk away
Before we parted I had this to say

Chorus
