I tried to write you a love song Stayed up late last night trying to get it right But it still comes out all wrong Was I such a fool for believing You'd never be leaving me
When we met, we were young And, man, it was crazy Runnin' so fast, chasin' the sun But never stoppin' to ask why Sharing dreams that we thought could last forever 'Cause nothin's forever
Carolina, why'd we have to string it along You were my song, you gave meaning to my song Carolina, why'd we have to take so damn long To bring the curtain down, we brought the curtain down But it left me on the ground, babe
I tried to write you a love song Stayed up late last night trying to get it right But it still comes out all wrong Nobody's right and nobody's wrong
Like a story that begins with once upon a time Our love didn't need no reason or rhyme Or no special time or season to grow Nobody's right and nobody's wrong
Carolina, why'd we have to string it along You were my song, you gave meaning to my song Carolina, why'd we have to take so damn long To bring the curtain down, we brought the curtain down But it left me on the ground, babe
