Met her on a Tuesday, rain was pouring down
Blonde hair shining like a golden crown
She had green eyes flecked with little gold spots
One look at her and my heart just stopped
She said, you look like trouble but I might just stay
I laughed and said, I ain't got no say
We danced through puddles, laughed through the night
I never knew love could feel this right
But some hearts aren't made for holding on
Some love burns bright before it's gone
I should have known by the way she smiled
She was just passing by for a little while
She was green eyes and goodbyes
Like lightning in a southern sky
One kiss and she was gone
Like the last note of my favorite song
Tried to hold her but the wind don't stay
She was fire and I was the rain
Now I'm here where she left me behind
With the echo of her laugh in my mind
Found a note on the table by the door
Sorry love, I can't stay no more
Said she had a dream and a road to chase
Said lots of things she just can't face
So I poured a drink, let the memories roll
Tasted like whiskey and her heart turned cold
I should have known but damn I swear
I still smell her perfume in the air
But some hearts ain't made for holding on
Some love burns bright before it's gone
I should have known by the way she smiled
She was just passing by for a little while
She was green eyes and goodbyes
Like lightning in a southern sky
One kiss and she was gone
Like the last note of my favorite song
Tried to hold her but the wind don't stay
She was fire and I was the rain
Now I'm here where she left me behind
With the echo of her laugh in my mind
Maybe some love ain't meant to last
Just a spark that fades too fast
I see her face when I close my eyes
Blonde hair, gold spots left my heart untied
She was green eyes and goodbyes
Like lightning in a southern sky
One kiss and she was gone
Like the last note of my favorite song
Tried to hold her but the wind don't stay
She was fire and I was the rain
Now I'm here where she left me behind
With the echo of her laugh in my mind
Met her on a Tuesday, rain was pouring down
Blonde hair shining but she ain't around
I still see her every now and then
But wild hearts don't come back again
