Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Pretty Girl from Cedar Lane

I had a moment, when I thought I might be wrong

But Ashley how could it be

I waited on the rooftop, all night long

But you weren't coming for me

And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid

You said you wanted me but you never did

There was a moment when I thought our love was strong

But now that moment is gone

I could stand right underneath the window of your room

Throwing rocks I've done it before

And I would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies

But I don't have the energy no more

And you never promise anything you didn't give

I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did

There was a moment my love for you was strong

But now that moment is gone

Now that moment is gone

I saw you behind the camera

Whispering to your friends and watching me

I fell in love with you there

Which proves the fool that I can often be

I had a moment when I thought I might be right

But Ashley how could it be

I drank your share bourbon thinking you might come around

There ain't no one on the rooftop but me

And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid

You said you wanted me but you never did

There was a moment my love for you was strong

But Ashley that moment is gone

Ashley that moment is gone

Now that moment is gone
