Analysis of She had another
When we met
I swear I was strong
Powerful and confident
As I plodded along
Things were great
We were flying high
Nothing could stop us
Said the look in my eye
Time moved on
and so did she
But she didn't tell me
Through the night
I told myself
Then every night
She would disappear
And it was lonely
Without her here
Slowly it dawned on me
-what was wrong
She had another
With my love song
She said she cannot-
So now she's walking
Out the door
I ask myself
What was it all for?
