If I could, you know I would
I should never have sent that letter
I could trust in you, I knew I should
And our life would've been much better
But you know down deep inside
I was so young and full of pride
You know my life had run amuck
And I have never had that much luck
I was in trouble and in such a dark place
With no sense of time, crime or space
And that the other men all around
Would always try to bring me down
Whenever we found a lovely girl
They would always give it a whirl
And try to burn it down, to drag it down
Before it even got off the ground
When it comes to relationships
They go through my hands real quick
So I hope you now understand
I weren't yet a grown up man
I know the words I wrote did sting
But I thought it was the right thing
I know that letter made you blue
I tried to save you from the crew
I was in trouble and in such a dark place
With no sense of time, crime or space
And that the other men all around
Would always try to bring me down
Whenever we found a lonely girl
They would always give it a whirl
And try to burn it down, to drag it down
Before it even got off the ground
I wanted you to have a good life
and planned for your better today
But I couldn't stop my internal strife
Or keep that bitter jealousy at bay
Yes, I tried to do what were right
If I could I'd go back tonight
But now I can think quite clearly
My jealousy cost me dearly
