Didn't Even Know Her Name

Bread

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 loved 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
