And then you blew it

You had your chance
And then you blew it

A precious soul
Who loved you true
Lord only knows
What made you do it
There ain’t no hope
For fools like you

You had your chance
And then you blew it

All your contrition
Don’t mean squat
You got a lifetime now
To rue it
Ain’t gonna get
A better shot

You had your chance
And then you blew it

Thought you could find
Some greener grass
She was perfect
And you knew it
No one can help
Your sorry ass
