When The Circus Comes Lyrics

Nobody has written anything on this song? Well it has almost perfect meaning for me. A song about heartbreak in the worst way.

"Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck, the time that you came and the day that you left"

This line means the most and I think that Los Lobos is trying to say that he could have not experienced this much heartbreak they day you first met (you could have just turned away and not even gotton into this relationship in the first place) and the day that you left - meaning, if you dropped it the day your significant other left with no regrets or grudges then you wouldn't feel this way either.
