Lyrics for The Frightened City

I met a girl once, I thought she was the one for me I was so taken by her personality I met a girl once, who took my heart and love away She looked an angel vision walking through the day I took her to parties, bought her everything I could I treated her just like a queen I told her I loved her, marry her I said I would Didn't realize just what a fool I've been I met a girl once, she did me wrong behind the back Then when I've found out I felt like my heart would crack I met a girl once, she taught me what I had to learn That if love's cruel, broken hearts are what you learn I took her to parties, bought her everything I could I treated her just like a queen I told her I loved her, marry her I said I would Didn't realize just what a fool I've been I met a girl, once, she did me wrong behind my back Then when I've found out I felt like my heart would crack I met a girl, once, she taught me what I had to learn That if love's cruel, broken hearts are what you learn
