When I Said I Would

I'm on a roll. I decided that the next song I am going to post has to be from yet another genre, so after looking around for a bit at what I've got, I came across this one. iTunes had it as their free song about a month ago, and I downloaded it from there and loved it right away. The part toward the end where she goes through her "I'm takin' back... " list gives me the chills sometimes. It's so heartless, but obviously the guy deserved it, otherwise she wouldn't do it. Anyhow, its country. Amazing, I know, but I do like it a lot.

When I Said I Would
By Whitney Duncan



The first time that I ever saw your face
I felt something stop me in my place
The kinda thing that you just can’t see coming your way

I closed my eyes and I jumped right in
Zero to sixty and to the win
With my head held high like it was never gonna end
And I trusted you when you asked me to

When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart without even blinking
That’s all you got? Well baby that’s just no good
Don’t give me that lie
You know I won’t buy it
You’re as good at love as you are at lying
You said “Uh-huh” but I just don’t think you understood
When I said I would

I stood by you, played by the rules
For a second I thought that you did too
Makes me wonder how long you would have let me be a fool
I gave it my best, this is what I get!

When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart without even blinking
That’s all you got? Well baby that’s just no good
Don’t give me that lie
You know I won’t buy it
You’re as good at love as you are at lying
You said “Uh-huh” but I just don’t think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would

I’m taking back (When I said I would love you)
I’m taking back (Every kiss that I gave you)
I’m taking back (Every promise I made you)
I’m taking back everything that I said

When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart without even blinking
That’s all you got? Well baby that’s just no good
Don’t give me that lie
You know I won’t buy it
You’re as good at love as you are at lying
You said “Uh-huh” but I just don’t think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would

Don’t give me that lie
You know I won’t buy it
You’re as good at love as you are at lying
You said “Uh-huh” but I just don’t think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would
