Last time that I saw your face
Was just before you drove away
And I held you one last time and said goodbye
And then I saw her paying for her things
In a coffee shop in New Orleans
And since yesterday, girl, you've been on my mind
She was painfully pretty
Yeah, the way she took my breath
Was the way you took my breath
And it reminded me of when
You were with me
And I know those days are gone
'Cause you and I were just too young to hold on
To something beautiful
But we had what we had and what we had
Was painfully pretty
♪
I wonder what you're doing now?
Did you fall in love? Are you still around?
Do you ever think of what we could've been
And was it her brown hair or her blue eyes
That brought me back to you and I?
And mistakes you know I'd love to make again
She was painfully pretty
Yeah, the way she took my breath
Was the way you took my breath
And it reminded me of when
You were with me
And I know those days are gone
'Cause you and I were just too young to hold on
To something beautiful
But we had what we had and what we had
Was painfully pretty

Painfully pretty
Yeah, the way she took my breath
Was the way you took my breath
And it reminded me of when
You were with me
And I know those days are gone
'Cause you and I were just too young to hold on
To something beautiful
But we had what we had and what we had
Was the kind of pain I'd love to feel again
It was painfully pretty
