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

If I could act
And make the clocks go backAlthough my odds are stackedI’d be with youI was younger then,
I’ve learnt a thing or two sinceI’m more experiencedBut so are you
In spite of me,
You
always tried to see
The honest guy in meYou thought you knewI wish you’d like to seeThe brand new side of meThat only I can seeBut you should too
And all the things I felt I didn’t want beforeThat I missed when you left meI knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget me
I miss the way
You’d tell me every dayThat you would never strayOr treat me coldBut the mess I madeIt led to changeWe went our separate waysAnd it’s all my fault
I’d let you downGive you the mess aroundSince you I’ve never foundOne better for meRight here and nowI wear the tears of a clownWish you were here in townBut that can’t be
And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe
But I ain’t since I lost youThey told me love just led to heartbreakAnd taught me that one add one makes threeBut I’ve learnt what it can cost you
And it’s strange but it’s trueI didn’t know quite what I neededBut now I’m pretty sure I doBecause I thought it throughTook a look in the mirrorI was just a beginnerI was just a beginner when I met you
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget meYeah I helped you forget meBut it’s your fault,
You let me
