Woke up this morning, with a picture in my hand
A little note on the back of it saying: You were good to me as a friend
Why did she go and leave me, when she knew that we were strong?
Or was this just inside my head, how could I be so wrong?
Her name was Mitzi Marlow, she was a local girl from town
We've been loving here for 7 years, and now she's let me down
I was the pillow in her pocket, to rest her weary head
And if she didn't know where to turn, I'd comfort her in bed

I can keep on searching, but it'll never be the same
What the hell have I done wrong, to deserve this kind of pain?
I've never been a bad man, always looked the other way
Trying a justify the reason, for her leaving me this way

Now I'm lost and lonely, and don't know what to do?
I'm gonna search inside myself, to see if there's a clue
Gonna pull myself together, to see just who I am
But how am I supposed to know, I couldn't understand

I can keep on searching, but it'll never be the same
What the hell have I done wrong, to deserve this kind of pain?
I've never been a bad man, always looked the other way
Trying a justify the reason, for her leaving me this way

Woke up this morning, there's a letter in the door
She says she's coming home someday, I just broke down on the floor
Don't know the situation, don't know if I really care
But if she's coming back to me, she can count on me being there

I can keep on searching, but it'll never be the same
What the hell have I done wrong, to deserve this kind of pain?
I've never been a bad man, always looked the other way
Trying a justify the reason, for her leaving me this way

She stepped up to the garden gate, was dripping to the ground
All I could see was broken tears, and love I'd lost now found
Feel kinda hurt inside, but it's not like feeling blue
And she feels so guilty now, but we've talked through and through
She said she was hitching for some love, but the rides were kinda lame
But I forgive her for everything, 'cause I love her just the same

I can keep on searching, but it'll never be the same
What the hell have I done wrong, to deserve this kind of pain?
I've never been a bad man, always looked the other way
Trying a justify the reason, for her leaving me this way
