I still remember when we first met at Rust
Beautiful and sexy, I was instantly struck
So funny and kind-hearted, one of a kind
You were the only thing running through my mind
I’d go back to my room, close the door tight
Practicing the things I would say to you at night
Getting to know your life, little by little each day
I knew it was a place that I always wanted to stay
ChorusBut somehow I managed to slip away
If I could do it all over, I’d never leave that place
Now twenty years later, we're in two different worlds
I'm just a lonely man missing his favorite girl
Watching another man step in and take my place
But Tiffany, I need to tell you to your face
Even when I say I love you...
I love you more than that
Verse 2Two different places, the time moved so fast
I'm haunted by the memories of our beautiful past
I remember the sweetness of your kind-hearted soul
Walking away from you took a heavy toll
I see him with you now, holding your hand
Living out the future that I should have planned
I look at my empty room and swallow my pride
Wishing I had kept you right here by my side
ChorusCause somehow I managed to slip away
If I could do it all over, I’d never leave that place
Now twenty years later, we're in two different worlds
I'm just a lonely man missing his favorite girl
Watching another man step in and take my place
But Tiffany, I need to tell you to your face
Even when I say I love you...
I love you more than that
BridgeI should have said the words instead of practicing my lines
I should have held you close, I should have seen the signs
Now I'm looking from the outside, paying the cost
Thinking 'bout the twenty years of us that I lost
I gave up my spot, I walked out the door
And every single day makes me want you much more
Final ChorusSomehow I managed to slip away
If I could do it all over, I’d never leave that place
Now twenty years later, we're in two different worlds
I'm just a lonely man missing his favorite girl
Watching another man step in and take my place
But Tiffany, I need to tell you to your face
Even when I say I love you...
I love you more than that
Yeah, I love you more than that
