She was the one
I wanted most
My diamond in the rough
But to my surprise
She crippled me
My love was not enough
I found in her
The better things
That life had not presented
She filled me up
With promises
Both empty and diluted

And I should've known
It was too good to be true
She slipped right
Through my hands like sand
And it could've been
My anger was too much
To snuff
But my love
Should've been enough

My love was not enough
And I should've known
It was too good to be true
She slipped right
Through my hands like sand
But there couldn't possibly
Be much more I could do
Your mind was set
You turned and ran
And it could've been
My anger was too much
To snuff
But my love
Should've been enough
