Lyrics

Convicted you, mistreated you for what I thought was true
Neglected you, disrespected you, I hated you
I only knew I had no clue of who she was to you
So the first thing to do was to find ways to get back at you
So I took a nobody, turned him into somebody
So your body could feel the same pain in my body
Now I see, I made a fool of me
She turned out to be someone close to the family
I know sometimes I go on ego trips
Sometimes for no reason I start to flip
Slowly I've torn down the love we built
Now I'm swallowing my pride
I need you in my life
Boy, don't turn and walk away (I messed up)
Don't throw it all away (I messed up)
Just put the blame on me (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I'm confessing my mistakes (I messed up)
Don't take your love away (I messed up)
What would it take for you to stay? (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I've been dishonest, broke promises I know I made
Told secrets we said we'd take to our grave
Wish I could take it back, the wrong I did
But what's done is done, I just hope you can forgive
Sometimes I chill with friends to ease the pain
When they leave it seems to hurt again
At night I pray for another chance
Only God knows how I'm suffering
Boy, please step away from the door
What happened won't happen anymore
Should've said this before
I'm swallowing my pride
'Cause I need you in my life
Boy, don't turn and walk away (I messed up)
Don't throw it all away (I messed up)
Just put the blame on me (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I'm confessing my mistakes (I messed up)
Don't take your love away (I messed up)
What would it take for you to stay? (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
Day by day it's harder for me to pass the time away
Pictures slowly fade, memories replay
Remember you, you always used to say
If I would ever stray, you'd never take your love away
Never knew it'd be this way until you walked away
No more sunny days, it rains on my parade
With you I had it so good
If I could take it back, I swear I would
Boy, don't turn and walk away (I messed up)
Don't throw it all away (I messed up)
Just put the blame on me, yeah (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I'm confessing every one of my mistakes (I messed up)
Don't take your love away (I messed up)
What would it take for you to stay? (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I'm admitting I was wrong (I messed up)
Don't leave me here alone (I messed up)
I don't think I could go on (I messed up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
Boy, look into my eyes (I messed up)
My pain is hard to describe (I messed up)
I'm confessing my mistakes (I messed up)
Don't you take your love away (I messed up)
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up
Whoa, whoa, whoa (I messed up)
I messed up
I messed up
