Stopped in the old 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

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

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

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

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

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

Guess I got what I deserved
The truth is I went and hurt
The prettiest girl at the dance
