Long Story Short

We were young

And it was real

We might be done

But it sure as hell ain’t healed

You turned off the song right before that last chorus played

Guess you and I just weren’t on the same page

You could’ve been mine, I could’ve been yours

We could’ve been dragging cans driving off in this Ford

We had this whole town betting on you and me

But I guess a diamond ring don’t mean anything

It could’ve been love, but it ain’t no more

We could’ve been head in the clouds, instead of out in this storm

But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door

Yeah, you went and cut what could’ve been a life long story short

That piece of land

Dad handed down

Could’ve been our home

Oh, but it’s just an empty field now

You closed the book on us right before that chapter

Guess we’ll never know about happy ever after

You could’ve been mine, I could’ve been yours

We could’ve been dragging cans driving off in this Ford

We had this whole town betting on you and me

But I guess a diamond ring don’t mean anything

It could’ve been love, but it ain’t no more

We could’ve been head in the clouds, instead of out in this storm

But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door

Yeah, you went and cut what could’ve been a life long story short

Long story short

You took a forever kind of future and put it in the past

Yeah, the worst thing about parting ways like that

'Cause you could've been mine, I could've been yours

We could’ve been dragging cans driving off in this Ford

We had this whole town betting on you and me

But I guess a diamond ring don’t mean anything

It could’ve been love, but it ain’t no more

We could’ve been head in the clouds, instead of out in this storm

But when you broke my heart and you slammed that door

Yeah, you went and cut what could’ve been a life long story short

Long story short

Life long story short
