Pretty Girl From Michigan

The Avett Brothers · The Carpenter [2012]

Can you not see what you've done?

You gave your heart away like that

I didn't want to fall in love with anyone but you dear

I can still hear the song, the melody behind the kiss you gave me

You were wrong, I was right so I walked away

And left you there, alone

I got so tired of talking on the telephone

How many times would we say the words good bye



I've made mistakes, and one was telling you

that I'll be there when telling time had come

I should've said I didn't care

Oh, the time I would've saved if I had been

less willing to accommodate

You'd been a little less likely to cry



You'll go back to the hard life

And I'll go back to the lone

I should've known, but now I know

There'll be no word from you describing how it felt

to go through what I put you through

It all makes á¹—erfect sense

The way you cut the rope that kept you dangling

from such pitiful amounts of hope

I would have cut it too
