I was 17 and i thought you were one in a million
I never dreamed anyone (would) ever take you away
And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union
But i never thought i'd live to regret that day

* you put a scar on my heart i can't cover up and hide
I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside
** under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms

Every night you go out tell me its with a friend
You come back late know you've seen him again
And at 29 i realize the dreaming has to end
Although i've lost your love still the ghost remains

* repeat
** repeat
Oh yeah,
