didn't even know her name

should've kept on goin', but the hurt was showing when she looked at me that way, i had to stay, i knew i had to get to know her name, the town was weary, she was to marry someone planned years ago, her eyes said no, i knew i had to get to know her name, and when i got her all alone, she told me through the tears, that she didn't really love him, but he'd waited for so many years, she said she couldn't break his heart, she'd rather live with hers, and though i told her she should leave with me, she just could not believe with me, should've kept on goin', better that than knowin' that he made her his wife, he took her life, you know i didn't even know her name, you know i didn't even know her name
