Should Have Watched

I once had a love,
A true and lasting love,
But the fool in me,
Came out one night.
And with her loving eyes,
She saw right through my lies.
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line.
I should've watched that first step.
It was a mighty big step.
When I started stepping out of line.
Though she's still loving me,
It's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.
I watched her slip away.
A little more everyday.
For my conscience
Couldn't live with all that shame.
Now she's growing colder
Since the day i told her.
And the love we had
Will never be the same.
I should've watched that first step.
It was a mighty big step.
When I started stepping out of line.
Though she's still loving me,
It's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.
That first step did something to her mind
