How Could I Have Stopped This Fall

[Verse] front door was left wide open TV playing to an empty room no sign of where you were goin just the tell-tale signs you left soon half eaten plate of food on the table clothes scattered across the living room car missing from the drive if only I had gotten here any sooner I might have stopped you from leaving [Chorus] my heart is pounding like a sledge hammer how could I have stopped this fall If only i could of kept from hurting you over and over I wouldn't have to feel this pain at all no matter what I did or didn't do I can't undo it any of it now what's done is done is did I lost the love I made a vow [Verse 2] the gravel is still warm from your tailpipe tire tracks mar the dirt you're leaving will change my life I don't know how to stop this hurt the pain his deep like a spear piercing my heart without remorse my heart may never mend i fear if only I had changed my course I might have stopped you from leaving [Chorus] my heart is pounding like a sledge hammer how could I have stopped this fall If only i could of kept from hurting you over and over I wouldn't have to feel this pain at all no matter what I did or didn't do I can't undo it any of it now what's done is done is did I lost the love I made a vow [Post-Chorus] I lost the love i made a vow where do I turn now how am I supposed to go on without you dear, you're not the only one that's gone I'm gone, gone inside, I'm gone, gone in stride I'm gone, gone mind I'm gone, gone, gone, gone-- how could I have stopped this fall I wouldn't have to feel this pain at all I wouldn't have to feel this pain at all if I could've stopped, stopped this--Fall.
