I saw her in an empty bar
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
Trigger visions of her face 
To this day 
We tried to dance for years to come
But two can't lead and waltz as one,
We loved and learned, 
And learned to love, 
But it was not enough 

Foolish pride got in our way 

(Chorus)
She could take my heart and soul 
She could take my hand to hold 
Why'd she have to take advantage of me 
I tried to pay for all the things 
She could want or ever need 
Don't make me pay for all the past, please 

So now we're living far apart 
I hope to god our paths don't cross
This may seem shallow,
But her beauty makes me weak 

I long to hold her once again and
Reconcile and then give in 
To realize, later on 
We'd made the same mistake

Hold on to the lesson you learned

She could take my heart and soul 
she could take my hand to hold 
Why'd she have to take advantage of me 
I tried to pay for all the things 
She could want or ever need 
Don't make me pay for all the past
So much to tow, bogged down
With all the history to hold 
The blame fell hard on me 
Apologies were too short-lived 
She never really could forgive mistakes

She could take my heart and soul 
she could take my hand to hold 
Why'd she have to take advantage of me 
I tried to pay for all the things 
She could want or ever need 
Don't make me pay for all the past, no

She took my heart 
she took my soul 
she took my fragile hand to hold 
she took advantage all the time 
I'll take her back 
Cause her love makes me blind
