He wanted to hold your hand
But his hands shook
With the memories of his childhood
The musty room, clouded with the
Sweet stink cigar smoke
His father who stank of acrid alcohol
And a voice that rumbled like thunder
And the cracks scars across his skinAnd he just knew that he couldn't hold her hand
Because she deserve someone
Who won't complicate her life
Someone who can make her happy all the time
She deserves someone better
So I left herNow she always wonders why did you leave?
