Cole Hansen - Before I Left

I can't say you're not right for me
We'll just have to wait and see
It's not that I didn't fall for you
What was I to do
I must confess
You were the first one that showed any interest in me
You must have seen
How easy it was to lock down the girl of your dreams
You said to me, Please don't ever leave me
Please never leave
You made me say it in front of our families
Before I left, you thought you had me
I was stubborn and stuck in between
Who I was and who I was to be
I was 16; naive and full of life
Trading in my childhood to be called wife
I must confess
You were the first one that showed any interest in me
You must have seen
How easy it was to lock down the girl of your dreams
You said to me, Please don't ever leave me
Please never leave
You made me say it in front of our families
Before I left, you thought you had me
You built a safe little bird cage for me
Vision cloaked under a dark colored sheet
I spied other birds testing their wings
A freeness like puppets without strings
I must confess
You were the first one that showed any interest in me
You must have seen
How easy it was to lock down the girl of your dreams
You said to me, Please don't ever leave me
Please never leave
You made me say it in front of our families
Before I left, you thought you had me
Keep on paddling, you yelled. Keep paddling
You held me, but the years wore down my grip
You’ll sink us both, you said. Go fix yourself instead
But I knew I had done all I could do
I must confess
You were the first one that showed any interest in me
You must have seen
How easy it was to lock down the girl of your dreams
You said to me, Please don't ever leave me
Please never leave
You made me say it in front of our families
Before I left, you thought you had me
Before I left, you thought you had me
