Missed It By A Mile Lyrics

Lonesome River Band Missed It By A Mile

[Verse 1]
Knowing that someone like you
Was never gonna change
I fell in way over my head
And I'll take that blame
Fearing the truth of it all
I hid my tears behind a smile
Aiming for love
I shot straight for the heart
But I missed it by a mile

[Chorus]
No more trying
No more crying
No more fooling myself
I've had enough
I've given up
I put my heart back on the shelf
I long to feel a love so real
But I knew better all the while
Aiming for love
I shot straight for the heart
But I missed it by a mile

[Verse 2]
Staring through the window of time
I see reflections of a fool
Chasing some crazy old dream
That never came true
Hopelessly blinded by love
I was captured by your smile
Aiming for love, I shot straight for the heart
But I missed it by a mile

[Chorus]
No more trying
No more crying
No more fooling myself
I've had enough
I've given up
I put my heart back on the shelf
I long to feel a love so real
But I knew better all the while
Aiming for love
I shot straight for the heart
But I missed it by a mile
Girl, I missed it by a mile
