Bilingual
I was seventeen, and she was just eighteen
The first time she climbed in my truck
And 30 miles in West Texas ain't nothing at all
For two kids from two small towns in love
And I was oil field trash, and she knew it
A little crazy, and she was naive
I had a dad that don't care and a sister in jail
She found something in me she believed
So I broke her heart just to save her
As she reached for my hand, I let go
I said, "You should have listened to all of your friends
'Cause I'm not this guy that you know"
ย
There were tears on her face as I looked back
Watched through a crowd of our friends as she cried
And thought I'll play the guy that they all think I am
I'd hate you to think that your friends had lied
And so I broke her heart just to save her
As she reached for my hand, I let go
I said, "You should have listened to all of your friends
'Cause I'm not this guy that you know"
ย
She was wrecked out when she finally called me
And I could hear all this pain in her voice
She said, "I've seen the man you can be if you want"
And, baby, you still have a choice
So I broke her heart just to save her
As she reached for my hand, I let go
I said, "You should have listened to all of your friends
'Cause I'm not this guy that you know"
And so I broke her heart so she would let go
It's hard to be this guy you know
It's hard to be this guy you know
