Long Story Short
We were young
And it was real
We might be done
But it sure as hell ain't healed
You turned off the song right before that last chorus played
Guess you and I just weren't on the same page
You could've been mine, I could've been yours
We could've been dragging cans driving off in this Ford
We had this whole town betting on you and me
But I guess a diamond ring don't mean anything
It could've been love, but it ain't no more
We could've been head in the clouds, 'stead of out in this storm
But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door
Yeah, you went and cut what could've been a life long story short
That piece of land
Dad handed down
Could've been our home
Oh, but it's just an empty field now
You closed the book on us right before that chapter
Guess we'll never know about "happy ever after"
You could've been mine, I could've been yours
We could've been dragging cans driving off in this Ford
We had this whole town betting on you and me
But I guess a diamond ring don't mean anything
It could've been love, but it ain't no more
We could've been head in the clouds, 'stead of out in this storm
But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door
Yeah, you went and cut what could've been a life long story short
Long story short
You took a forever kind of future and put it in the past
Yeah, the worst thing about parting ways like that
Is you could've been mine, I could've been yours
We could've been dragging cans driving off in this Ford
We had this whole town betting on you and me
But I guess a diamond ring don't mean anything
It could've been love, but it ain't no more (ain't no more)
We could've been head in the clouds, 'stead of out in this storm
But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door
Yeah, you went and cut what could've been a life long story short
Long story short
A life long story short, mmhmm
