Lyrics

Yeah, we were just going through something I ain`t think it would end like this
Me and my girl, we were having problems Everything we built, felt like it was falling
Arguments, pain, going back and forth Didn't even feel like love no more
So I took a break, thought it was right Needed some space, just to clear my mind
Everything in my life, started going good But deep inside, I misunderstood
Cause something was missing, I couldn't see All that I lost when I set you free
Tried to act like I didn't care But your love was still right there
Now I'm trying, trying to get you back But you moved on, and I can't change that
Said I didn't care, but that was a lie Now I'm standing here watching you pass me by
Everybody make mistakes Girl, I made mine
Now I'm paying for it Every single night
Walking down the street, minding my own Then I saw you, girl, you weren't alone
Holding hands with another man Hit me hard, I barely could stand
I played it cool, said I don't care Kept walking past, like you weren't there
But inside, I was breaking down Tried to smile, but I almost drowned
I let you go, now I see the cost Didn't know I'd lose you and feel so lost
Now I'm stuck with this empty space And I can't replace your love, your face
Your love, your face
Now I'm trying, trying to get you back But you moved on, and I can't change that
Said I didn't care, but that was a lie Now I'm standing here watching you pass me by
Everybody make mistakes Girl, I made mine
Now I'm paying for it Every single night
If I could rewind time, I'd hold you close Never let you walk away, never let you go
I was blind, didn't see your worth Now I'm living with this hurt
I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying To be a better man, but it might be too late
You found somebody else's hand, I'm still trying Even though I know you're gone
And you're not coming home
So goodbye, now I'm standing here with tears in my eyes
Everybody make mistakes Girl, I made mine
Now I'm learning the hard way Love don't wait on time
Take time, yeah, I, I, yeah, try Yeah, I, I, yeah, try
Yeah, I, I, mm-hmm I'm still trying, but you gone
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
