Intro

Should've kept on goin'

But the hurt was showing

 When she looked at me that way

I had to stay

I knew I had to get to know her name

The town was weary

She was to marry

 Someone planned years ago

 Her eyes said no

 I knew I had to get to know her name

And when I got her all alone

 She told me through the tears

That she didn't really love him

 But he'd waited for so many years

 She said she couldn't break his heart

 She'd rather live with hers

 And though I told her she should leave with me

 She just could not believe with me

Should've kept on goin'

Better that than knowin'

 That he made her his wife

He took her life

You know I didn't even know her name

You know I didn't even know her name
