Prettiest Girl at the Dance

Stopped into that Tin Angel for a cold one
You didn’t even know that I was there
Too little too late is such an old one
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care
But I’m sitting here tonight, looking at my life
Wishing I’d held you tighter when I had the chance
Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance
I don’t know how long I expected
I could keep you waltzing through my door
I sat out when I should have stepped in
Let you drift away across the floor
But I’m sitting here tonight, looking at my life
Wishing I’d held you tighter when I had the chance
Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance
The prettiest girl at the dance
You stayed with me step by step
But I missed my chance
With the prettiest girl at the dance
I tore down the good things that made us right
Now I’m the one that’s living with regret
Yeah, it was me who turned out all the lights
You took the music when you left
But I’m sitting here tonight, looking at my life
Wishing I’d held you tighter when I had the chance
Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance
Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is I went and hurt
The prettiest girl at the dance
