Chris Tafoya - Carts Before Horses Lyrics

She got her first hickey from
A boy back in high school
She told him that she loved him
So he lied and said he loved her too
And so began a pattern for the miscommunication
Between her and the gender that is on the opposition
Even though she did her best
To be right and true
She was honest from the get go through and through
He stepped out to see what trouble he could get in to
She stepped back never knew he could be so cruel

She was different after that
It turned into a game
Used em and she burned em
Cuz it helped her hide from the pain
Began the next pattern of unorganized positions
Of all the right things to better her condition
Even tho she did her best to walk in his shoes
She ignored the fact her actions were mean an rude
She broke another sucker's heart and made him feel like a fool
Now she's coming this way
And got her eyes on you

She'll take away your pain
She'll take away your shame
She'll take away bad memories
And then she'll give them right back again
She'll give you all her time
She'll lay it on the line
She'll give you lots of good memories
And then she'll take them right back again

You try to hide your heart
But you don't have it anymore
She put it in her pocket
And she took it with her out the door
So begins the story of your hard learned lesson
Balancing on the brink of a deep depression
Even though you did your best
To be calm and cool
You got your carts before your horses
Feelin' like a fool
She stepped out to see what trouble
She could get in to
You step back and wonder how
She could be so rude
