All She Wrote Lyrics

I got home late on a Saturday night
And I knew right away something wasn't right
I knew she was gone

She took all I had but, left a hole in my heart
Should've known it would go bad, right from the start
What did I do wrong?

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
Then I found the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

[Chorus]
"Bye bye baby, bye bye....", She said in her letter
And that was All She Wrote
Guess this is goodbye, guess this is forever
And that was all she wrote

I called on the phone, but she wasn't there
Should've know all along that she just didn't care
Why did she have to go?

Now I look at her picture and I wonder why
She left me this way...-Why did she say goodbye?
I guess I'll never know

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
I remember the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

[Chorus]

"All she wrote" is a phrase meaning the end - it's something you might say after a sporting event has been decided or a party is ending. In this song, the phrase has a double meaning, as it indicates the end of a relationship, and also what the girl who leaves him wrote in her note announcing her departure.

The song was the fourth and final single from FireHouse's debut album, which was a hair metal landmark featuring their biggest hit, "Love of a Lifetime."

FireHouse lead singer CJ Snare wrote this song with guitarist Bill Leverty. Some of the band's songs are inspired by personal experience, but not this one. Snare says that he heard someone utter the phrase "And that was all she wrote," which gave him the idea for the song. He wrote the story backwards, starting with the premise that the poor guy should have known it was coming when he found the letter saying his girl was leaving.
