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 it's 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,
