I have a story I'd like to tell
Broken heart's know it only too well
And she knows why I feel the way I do She gave me all her lovin' and she took it away
And blue skies they turned to a solid gray
Now she knows why I feel the way I do Well I know I'm walkin' down the lovesick trails
It's been walked by many before
But when she sees my set of tracks
She'll know I've learned the score I'll take my tears put 'em on the shelf
And keep my heartaches to myself
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do When she finds somebody new
Then he'll find out what I went through
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do She gave me her love and then she took it away
The blue skies they turned to a solid gray
Now she knows why I feel the way I do Well I know I'm walkin' down the lovesick trails
It's been walked by many before
But when she sees my set of tracks
She'll know I've learned the score I'll take my tears put 'em on the shelf
And keep my heartaches to myself
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do
