If I could act

And make the clocks go back
Although my odds are stacked
I’d be with you
I was younger then,

I’ve learnt a thing or two since
I’m more experienced
But so are you

In spite of me,

You
always tried to see

The honest guy in me
You thought you knew
I wish you’d like to see
The brand new side of me
That only I can see
But you should too

And all the things I felt I didn’t want before
That I missed when you left me
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me

I miss the way

You’d tell me every day
That you would never stray
Or treat me cold
But the mess I made
It led to change
We went our separate ways
And it’s all my fault

I’d let you down
Give you the mess around
Since you I’ve never found
One better for me
Right here and now
I wear the tears of a clown
Wish you were here in town
But that can’t be

And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe

But I ain’t since I lost you
They told me love just led to heartbreak
And taught me that one add one makes three
But I’ve learnt what it can cost you

And it’s strange but it’s true
I didn’t know quite what I needed
But now I’m pretty sure I do
Because I thought it through
Took a look in the mirror
I was just a beginner
I was just a beginner when I met you

I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me
Yeah I helped you forget me
But it’s your fault,

You let me
