Short life of trouble
It's only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart
You know what you promised
Not more than three weeks ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing there by by your mama's kitchen door
Short life of trouble
It's only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart
Now you've broken your promise
So marry who you may
This old world is so big and so wide
I'll ramble back again someday
Short life of trouble
It's only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart
