For all the times I stayed out late and left her waiting at homeFor all the times I didn’t answer my phoneFor all the instances I said I’d be better aloneI should’ve let her understand how I felt
I should’ve realised money isn’t how you measure your wealth
I didn’t know I needed nobody else 'cos I was out for myselfNow I’m in need of her help
But she took my advice and found somebody else
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden
For all the lies I told for every time that I bent the truthIf I don’t care I can’t loseAnybody can lie but you can’t lie to yourselfYou can’t pretend you don’t care, they'd be able to tell
I should’ve told her she’s the one who made me stable myselfThe legs to my table as well
She’s the girl who promised heaven that I put through hell
The one I weren’t prepared to lose who didn’t know how I felt
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden

She left before she’d even walked inShe must’ve seen that id been drinkingShe used to stand alone at the bar back thenIt’s good to understand who you are
She used to be the talk of the townI had her down as nobody’s clownYou’d question why she wasn’t with him, butShe weren’t the type you’d make wait around
You’d give a bit of somethingShe’d fill you up with nothing(And) somehow, you’d still feel you were freeShe’d let you fall in too deep
She made me in ways that others haven’tAnd played me, somehow while this happenedShe’d still save meCrying while I’m laughing again
She'd let you hang on every last wordAnd act as if it’s safe when it weren’tShe’d sit you at the front of the class andShe'd act like she’s surprised you ain’t passed
She'd give a little somethingAnd act as if it’s nothingAnd somehow you’d be happy it’s freeHow could it happen to me?

I remember when I knew where I was goingI recall a time I felt I’d lost my wayAnd now I’m stuck between the twoAnd it’s all because of youFor leaving me as I’d just started growing
There were weeks on end the clouds weren’t in the skyThere were times when we were stuck out in the rainMemories good and bad have been and goneI’ll cherish each and every single oneI remember when all we knew was still worth knowing
And I’d love to say with certainty that this wasn’t for the worstAnd I'm struggling to put it in to wordsI can’t lie that it’s been hurting meThat you cant see what its worthAnd you left just when I needed it to work
I remember when the world was at our feetAnd I look back to when we thought wed lost it allI was a story of success
Now I'm barely existing at bestI remember when I knew where I was going

(You) told me not to callBuilt yourself a wallI’d always thought you knew the scoreBut you don’t seem to anymore
And I sold my soulYou’d turned it coldDespite what you may sayI know one day I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
You said you’d never change your mindYou were far too scared to tryYou shouted at me through the tears“We’ve been friends for far too many years”
And I fell for youAnd you felt it tooAnd that I won’t forgetMy life I’d bet, I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
And though I know
It’s gonna take some timeFor you to agreeAnd see, it’s the truthYou’ll say I weren’t scared before ‘cosIf there was one thing I was sure of, I knewI’d get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these days….

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

Like a man who’s got nothing left to loseNot a penny but everything to proveLike a man on the edgeWho wishes that she had never left
Running in a circle to tie up ends still looseTryna pull his neck from out the nooseAnd win back her respectBut he’s not looking his best
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
He can’t bare to consider someone newWhiskey and cigarettes won’t see him throughSays that he’s got a planHolding on as tight as he can
She played him for a foolBut he taught her toShe’s only ever happy
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
She was trouble from the very startShe had a knack of tearing hearts apartNo one knows where it endsHe’s tryna not be nobody’s friend
And it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
