we took the long and steady road

Mayer Hawthorne

We took the long and steady road
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of loveââ?¬â?¢s divide

You were everything that I wanted and more
Now we canââ?¬â?¢t go back where we started, never be like before

Darlinââ?¬â?¢ me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Iââ?¬â?¢m through with playing the fool for love
Darlinââ?¬â?¢ yes itââ?¬â?¢s true we had a grand engagement
But I canââ?¬â?¢t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to be a man, baby Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to take a stand

So now we gone our separate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of loveââ?¬â?¢s remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?

You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we canââ?¬â?¢t go back where we started this is the end of the line

Darling me and you we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Iââ?¬â?¢m through playing the fool for love
Darlinââ?¬â?¢ yes itââ?¬â?¢s true we had a grand engagement
But I canââ?¬â?¢t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to be a man, baby Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to take a stand

Me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Iââ?¬â?¢m through playing the fool for love
Darlinââ?¬â?¢ yes itââ?¬â?¢s true we had a grand engagement
But I canââ?¬â?¢t stand by while you break my heart in two, no
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to be a man, baby Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to take a stand
