When love comes so late
It'll really hit hard
It slams through the gate
It'll catch you off guard
Everyone said
"What a perfect love match
Cause she is so smart
She's a hell of a catch"
I was drinking in love
Gulping it down
Drifting for months
On a billowing cloud
But after awhile
I stopped to rebel
I'm back in the past
And I'm raising up hell
But I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
And I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
We'd been living together
For over a year
The harmony's perfect
It rang loud and clear
But then very slowly
My nerves start to fray
The little things big
That's what they say
I acted impatient
I acted unkind
I took her for granted
I played with her mind
She didn't deserve it
But it was too late
I walked out the door
And left her to her fate
Well, I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
And I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
Now I'm down in a slump
And I'm eating alone
I ruined the day
With some friends on the phone
I never go out
I'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV
And I drink on the couch
But if love comes again
I'll be really surprised
I'll grab it real fast
Keep it right in my sights
Cause I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
Well, I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
Well, I think I've just made
The biggest mistake of my life
