Oh, how could I have hurt you
Living cold and reckless
What a careless fool I've been

To have taken you for granted
Me, the man with all the answers
Never stopped to notice

You were my savior and my frined
I never should have left you


Now I'm standing in your shadow
Waiting as the tears begin to fall
I never should have left you

I never should have left you
Oh, to give my life for one chance
To have you back again

But I've taken all my chances
I turned and walked away


Love will carry on forever
Leaving many wounded


Heartaches never meant to be
The scars will always be there
Still I don't think I can make it

Living with a memory
I lost a love I failed to see
I never should have left you


Now I'm standing in your shadow
Waiting as the tears begin to fall

I never should have left you
I never should have left you
Oh, you gave your life for one chance

That I might live again

I never should have left you

I took your love for granted
I never should have left you
I never should have left you
