She Was (A Broken Love Story)

Lyrics

[Verse] She was always one of the flyest All dressed up ahead of her time and She had a smile that shine like diamonds With long hair the same colour as almonds I always wanted to wife it She the kinda girl you wanna spend your life with But, I never did get a chance why? 'cuz she always had a man And he was captain of the football team The biggest thing around on the football scenes Yeah He was the talk of the town Signing autographs when he's walking around And I was just the quiet kid in the math class To say something now 'gain to make the class laugh And everytime she would look back I'd damn near have a heart attack So every year before the summer would start I'd write a love letter and I'd pour out my heart But she was so far outta my range That I never got the courage to deliver the page So as I saw her walk across the stage A part of me died on graduation day 'kuz even though we never spoke one time I thought I lost the only chance to make her mine A couple years past, College was great Just got a new job, I'mma move to L.A The big city lights were always my dream I'm just hoping that everything is all what it seems So as I'm packing away I found my year book, I had circled her name And even though it may seem wild Just seeing her face made me smile Long flight I had just touched down It felt like all night and I had just touched ground Walking through the airport hallways I saw a face that I remember for always It was the same girl from high school It's being a couple years, She's probably 22 Or maybe she was 23 That's right, She's a year ahead of me I almost broke into tears But I held it all together, Ive being waiting for years Plus I practice in the mirror every friday A little speech incase I see her what I might say So as I saw her walk past Im thinking I'd be damned if I missed my chance And as I called her name I was scared But I had to let my heart overpower my fears She turned around with her eyes wide Yeah, I started thinking I'd died Because she started walking over Yeah, she started coming closer I had to check for my heartbeat 'kuz this couldn't be real, hardly She asked me "have I been cool"? Because she hasn't seen me since school And by then I was in love Because I didn't think she'd know who I was I asked bout her man, She ain't with him He went away to college hasnt hit since then Yes, I never heard news so good I told her I never thought I would Be standing face-to-face with my high school love And she said...yh you so sweet I always used to think you were the cutest thing I used to have the biggest crush on you in the tenth grade She said I used to think about you all the time I always wondered why you never said hi (I was scared) So I just let my crush fade away So as we sat over coffee in the airport hall Recited every old letter I could recall (As I read) She smiled, she can't believe she didn't see then So I said, I may be jumping off the deep end But if your heart's open maybe I could creep in She said that will be cool But I'm getting married next weekend
