You stood and cleared your throat, then every word you spoke
Seemed to fall out of your mouth, hit the ground and explode
Something about the truth and that you wanted me to know
I was working all the time and how you hadn't been alone
You said that you were sorry, how it had been hell
It hadn't been at home 'cause you'd been in a hotel
You turned your phone towards me and I felt my world melt
'Cause I was looking at this picture of you and someone else.
Cliché, cliché I know
But it's hard to give up hope
And as the saying goes
It's better late than never, there's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking, if you love 'em set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what will be will be
I just know that I miss you and none of it helps
Please come back to me
I walked from my front door to my car, and drove straight to the bar
Sat down and looked at the scars across my arms
It all came flooding back like I'd been sitting in the dark
How quickly I forgot that I had come so far
'Cause you were more than this, said I'd never do it again
'Cause you said it hurt to see me do it to myself
Well that's all gone now, and you're not here to help
Because you gave up on me just like everybody else
I wish that i'd been better, the person that you needed
I'm so much better than sitting here and bleeding
I'm not gonna let this get worse and take hold
I made a promise to myself and I'll make it home
And as the saying goes
It's better late than never,
There's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking
If you love 'em set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what will be will be
I just know that I miss you and none of it helps
Please come back to me
They all say I'll be fine
You'll barely cross my mind
Just give it time, ooh time
They all say I'll survive
You'll barely cross my mind
Just give it time, ooh time
It's better late than never,
There's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking
If you love 'em set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what will be will be
I just know that I miss you and none of it helps
Please come back to me
