If you had been there
to be there -just to be
then i wouldn't have to do this
baby I'm gone now.
and i have been for a while
you say you want me back
not believing we are even apart
because you can't believe you let me go
you live your life like we're fine
but you need to understand
you can't get me back
why can't you see?
you once were so good
and i don't know what happened
something got in your head
all the should'ves can't bring me back
and sometimes baby, sorry just isn't enough
you should have known
been able to see
cared a little more
and ignored the others
who said anything other
to you than that i loved you
because you knew it
and now you know more
of what you should have known
you see more than you used to see before
but just because you're no longer a part of me
and you can't share in my dreams
doesn't mean you can't go on
having learned from this
and be better for the next girl
treat her better
and if you ever need a reminder
just think back to me
of what went wrong
and how it started to go bad
don't let it get to that point
because now you know
no excuse
identify when you lose
the taste of her kiss
and the touch of her hand
when her smile fades
do something different than what you did with me baby
hold her
kiss her
hug her and caress her
don't let a day go by without telling her you need her
in any way you can just stay in tune
because before you know it
it could be through.
