Down the Line

I never said I'd marry you

I never said I wanted to at all

And all the things I promised you

I never said I'd follow through at all

And all the time I was thinking of ways to change your mind

I'm sorry if I led you down the line

I never said I wanted you

I never said I needed you at all

And all the things I said I'd do

I never said I'd see them through at all

And that's why I'll be leaving before I change my mind

I'm sorry if I led you down the line

And I know sometimes that it's hard to take

And I know that you still care

That's why I said why can't we just be friends

Instead of lovers 'til the end

So I'm gonna go to Stockton town

Find me a girl to fuck around again

'Cause I'm gonna do just what I like

And I'm gonna do it every night again

And that's why I'll be leaving before I change my mind

I'm sorry if I led you down the line

And I know sometimes that it's hard to take

And I know that you still care

That's why I said why can't we just be friends

Instead of lovers 'til the end

I sat up drinking for three lonely nights

I asked myself; when will this end?

I washed these thoughts down with a box of wine

I said my dear you're just my friend

'Cause I never said I'd marry you

I never said I wanted to at all

And all the things I promised you

I never said I'd follow through at all

And that's why I'll be leaving before I change my mind

I'm sorry if I led you down the line

And I know sometimes that it's hard to take

And I know that you still care

That's why I said why can't we just be friends

Instead of lovers 'til the end

Instead of lovers 'til the end
