Intro:

   (x2)


                      
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
