about

A cheese-infused ballad with unusual timing

lyrics

The minute I looked into his eyes, I knew
He was better than the other guys
And I wanted to impress
To made him think I had finesse
I just wanted some success

I couldn’t have known what he’d become
I couldn’t have known I’d fall in love
I couldn’t have known they’d haunt me so
Those little white lies I told to save face

I should have been honest from the start, I know
But if I had, would he still be here now?
Never meant to do him wrong,
I just wanted to prolong
The happiness that grew so strong

I couldn’t have what he’d become
I couldn’t have known I’d fall in love
I couldn’t have known they’d haunt me so
Those little white lies I told to save face
The minute I looked into eyes, I knew
He was better than the other guys
And I wanted to impress
To make him think I had finesse
I just wanted some success

I couldn’t have known what he’d become
And maybe I thought I’d be denied
I couldn’t have known I’d fall in love

(Piano solo, Brian Morrell)

I never meant to do him wrong
I just wanted to prolong
The happiness that grew so strong

I couldn’t have what he’d become
I couldn’t have known I’d fall in love
I couldn’t have known they’d haunt me so
Those little white lies I told to save face
