Lyrics Forgot to Say I Love You - Butch Walker

Forgot to Say I Love You

I waited till the rain stopped coming down
Pulled off from the overpass
Wet from head to toe
And I haven’t seen the exit for this town
In 7 years or more, I feel
A burn hit my soul
The house looks pretty good painted all in white
But you’d hate the way they did the yard
And overstated fence
I can’t remember what you said that night
But I remember what you wore that day
The light shined through your dress
Just an inch of flesh it bared
Was enough to turn me on
Your hands on your hips
Your body young and tone
My mind is so lonely
Now that you’re gone
From there…
I forgot to say I love you
Telling you now won’t do us any good
If there’s a God that’s up above you
Hope he treats you better than this world could
Better than it could
You’d be proud of the man that our son’s become
He makes more money than I do
And he married John last spring
The pages of my story here are done
The road was long and dark at first
But I wouldn’t change a thing
And life has dealt so many cards
My gambling now is curbed
And we’re driving cross this desert
With your ashes in an urn
Cause we always said we’d see the country
When we’re old as dirt
Now here we are…
I forgot to say I love you
Telling you now won’t do us any good
If there’s a God that’s up above you
Hope he treats you better than this world could
Better than it could
I forgot to say I love you
Telling you now won’t do us any good
If there’s a God that’s up above you
Hope he treats you better than this world could
Better than it could
Now I’m the singer on the stage
It’s a job, but maybe it’s not
And I’ve finally come of age
My dad and I are in some parking lot
This Winnebago’s done it’s time
Crossed every state border line
Played quiet and played loud
My mom she would be proud
I thank you both I was allowed to be
The singer on the stage…
