South Carolina
Is only 600 miles ago
This time I really had my hopes up
It's hard to hold on, so hard to let go

For the first time I was willing
With her, it just all made sense
But I guess her world just wouldn't fit behind
My white picket fence

Her memory's bringing back
The sinking feeling that it's over
Before it's begun
She said: I know you'll find someone
Who will love and honor you
But I'm not the one
You could hear my heart break
You could hear my heart break over you

They say that love is in the timing
There's a time to love for us all
Well, then I missed it by a season
Mine was summer, maybe hers will be next fall

Her memory's bringing back
The sinking feeling that it's over
Before it's begun
She said: I know you'll find someone
Who will love and honor you
But, baby, I'm not the one
You could hear my heart break
You could hear my heart break over you
Over you

But you're never gonna find it if you try to hold out
I've seen people hold out way too long
There's only so many chances and we're all uncertain
So baby, you've gotta hold on

You could have heard a pin drop
When I said: I love you

You could hear my heart break
You could hear my heart break
You could hear my heart break
You could hear my heart break over you
Over you
Over you
