I tried to write you a love song Stayed up late last night trying to get it right But it still comes out all wrong Was I such a fool for believing You'd never be leaving me When we met, we were young And, man, it was crazy Runnin' so fast, chasin' the sun But never stoppin' to ask why Sharing dreams that we thought could last forever 'Cause nothin's forever Carolina, why'd we have to string it along You were my song, you gave meaning to my song Carolina, why'd we have to take so damn long To bring the curtain down, we brought the curtain down But it left me on the ground, babe I tried to write you a love song Stayed up late last night trying to get it right But it still comes out all wrong Nobody's right and nobody's wrong Like a story that begins with once upon a time Our love didn't need no reason or rhyme Or no special time or season to grow Nobody's right and nobody's wrong Carolina, why'd we have to string it along You were my song, you gave meaning to my song Carolina, why'd we have to take so damn long To bring the curtain down, we brought the curtain down But it left me on the ground, babe Now I know Nobody's right, nobody's wrong Nobody's right, nobody's wrong Nobody's right, nobody's wrong It's just a sad situation Do you still think of me Like I still think of you In the middle of the night Gotta say it again
