Didn't Even Know Her Name

Should've kept on goin'

But the hurt was showing

When she looked at me that way

I had to stay

I knew I had to get to know her nameThe town was weary

She was to marry

Someone planned years ago

Her eyes said no

I knew I had to get to know her nameAnd when I got her all alone

She told me through the tears

That she didn't really loved him

But he'd waited for so many years

She said she couldn't break his heart

She'd rather live with hers

And though I told her she should leave with me

She just could not believe with meShould've kept on goin'

Better that than knowin'

That he made her his wife

He took her life

You know I didn't even know her name

You know I didn't even know her name
