Thought I could make it
Without you
Thought I could walk away

And never look back

Thought I had the secret

To stop these eyes from crying
Told myself he were no good
So what's the need in trying


But as you see, here I am
Loving you stronger than ever

Promising to be better
Getting into my head
I don't know how

To be nothing but yours

I guess I should have learned

From all the befores

I wrote a nice long letter

Explaining my reasons for leaving
Hoping it would tear you apart
And leave you grieving


I bet you didn't even read it
You're so familiar with the lines

You just glanced up at the clock
'Cause you knew the exact time I'd knock


Without pride
Here I stand
Waiting for your forgiveness

This is where I belong
Come what may
This time I'll stay

You might as well lock all the doors

I guess I should have learned

From all the befores

Promising to be better

And getting into my head
I don't know how to be nothing but yours


I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
