Everything I Couldn’t Be

Word got around the day that you found your someone new
I heard all about how happy you were how she's good for you
The day finally came when she took your name, and you said I do
That time of year I hear Paris is perfect for a honeymoon

The portrait that hangs on your living room wall
Her in that dress and you standing so tall
And a pretty bouquet and a ring on her hand
Rose-colored glasses and white-picket plans
It breaks my heart to see she's everything I couldn't be

Still think of that day we took the train down to San Antone
We found an old dance hall and danced until last call
Stayed out all night getting stoned
We were so good together, turns out forever would never be
I didn't want to believe it but the woman you needed wasn't me

The portrait that hangs on your living room wall
Her in that dress and you standing so tall
And a pretty bouquet and a ring on her hand
Rose-colored glasses and white-picket plans
It breaks my heart to see she's everything I couldn't be

The portrait that hangs on your living room wall
Her in that dress and you standing so tall
And a pretty bouquet and a ring on her hand
Rose-colored glasses and white-picket plans
It breaks my heart to see she's everything I couldn't be
