[intro]
(Instrumental Solo)
[verse]
Met you through a friend who swore weâd fit like hand in glove
I bared my whole heart, laid every last piece of me out for love
I walked tall, head high, knew exactly who I was
Let my guard crumble, and watched my pride hit the dust
[chorus]
Iâm a scorned man, gave you every ounce I had to give
Bought you every little thing your heart could ever wish
Now Iâm the ghost of the fool who thought this love would last
Never again will I let a doomed romance take me fast
