Did you ever read the words That said love would end I read them tonight Mistakes I can't defend I didn't stop to think And I upset her I've said good night tonight the last time forever I've said good night tonight the last time I think of her tonight She keeps me from my sleep but what can I do With all of these memories I used to be so shy And hide my temper I've said good night tonight the last time forever I've said good night tonight the last time forever It all went wrong when I grew jealous I didn't realize my strength Could take the life of one so precious Together we were known as good friends Did you ever read the words That say I love you I read them tonight But what good can they do I regret what I have done It wasn't clever I've said good night tonight the last time forever I've said good night tonight the last time forever I've said good night tonight the last time
