Too many

Too many late nights and tequila sunrises
waking up with too many surprises
too many hangovers and regrets
too many things I'm trying to forget

too many tears and so many aches
who would've thought my heart would break
too many mistakes we both made
who would've thought love would fade

You and I were going to always be together
It was going to be you and me forever
we were going to settle down
in a little place outside of town

we were going to live the good life
live it as husband and wife
then you just went away
seems like yesterday

I'm going to stop drinking
going to start thinking
I've made enough mistakes for two lifetimes
I'll let my head lead, my heart can tow the line
