[Verse 1] Stopped in the ol' 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 regrets Yeah, it was me who turned out all the lights You took the music when you left [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is I went and hurt The prettiest girl at the dance
