A classic country number. One of the first and best songs Ronnie Jeffrey and I wrote together.

You don’t know how it breaks my heart
You’ll never know how much I grieve
When I think of all I gave up
Just to have you walk out on me

They say hindsight’s 20-20
I guess that old saying is right
I’ve never seen things as clearly
As I have since you said goodbye

Chorus:
Hindsight and heartaches
Bad memories and mistakes
What starts hot and fast
Is not meant to last
It just makes
Hindsight and heartaches

They say that heartaches always mend
That enough time will cure all woes
But there’s no cure for memories
And I’ve got a bad case of those

It’s hard to believe that’s all I have
To show for all that wasted time
Just a lot of bad memories
That I can’t get out of my mind

Chorus:
Hindsight and heartaches
Bad memories and mistakes
What starts hot and fast
Is not meant to last
It just makes
Hindsight and heartaches

Bridge:
You say it wasn’t all your fault
And that it was hard on you too
But I don’t think you’d know the truth
If it fell right on top of you

Chorus:
Hindsight and heartaches
Bad memories and mistakes
What starts hot and fast
Is not meant to last
It just makes
Hindsight and heartaches

Hindsight and heartaches
Just hindsight and heartaches
