(gentle wistful music)♪ I roll over, but it's empty ♪
♪ You used to lay here beside me ♪
♪ I swallow my pride 'cause it's all on me ♪
♪ Is it too late ♪
♪ Forgive me ♪
♪ Did you mean what you said, are you angry ♪
♪ Lost more than a friend, now I'm on my knees ♪
♪ I don't know why I'm praying tonight ♪
♪ But if you can hear me ♪
♪ Tell me if you hear me ♪
♪ And I should have called ♪
♪ And I should have tried ♪
♪ And I should have walked you home every night ♪
♪ And I should have kissed you ten thousand times ♪
♪ Just to tell you I love you ♪
♪ I should have done it all ♪
♪ All for you, baby ♪
♪ But now I'm just a little too late ♪
♪ To be what you needed ♪
♪ But I hope that he is ♪
(gentle wistful music continues)
♪ You took me around but we got nowhere ♪
♪ 'Cause you were naive while I was too scared ♪
♪ So when we lit a fire, you run towards the flames ♪
♪ And I stood around and I watched you burn ♪
♪ Then arose up to claim you and left you in the dirt ♪
♪ Kept my hands to myself like I kept my word ♪
♪ Fool you once, never twice, I guess you've learned ♪
♪ And I don't know why I'm praying tonight ♪
♪ But if you can hear me ♪
♪ Tell me if you hear me ♪
♪ And I should have called ♪
♪ And I should have tried ♪
♪ And I should have walked you home every night ♪
♪ And I should have kissed you ten thousand times ♪
♪ Just to tell you I love you ♪
♪ I should have done it all ♪
♪ All for you, baby ♪
♪ But now I'm just a little too late ♪
♪ To be what you needed ♪
♪ But I hope that he is ♪
♪ I shouldn't have promised that I'd never fall ♪
♪ But you saw the writing all over the walls ♪
♪ I try not to cry in the places we'd go to ♪
♪ But I still fucking care for you ♪
♪ I hope that he calls ♪
♪ I hope that he tries ♪
♪ I hope that he walks you home every night ♪
♪ I hope that he kisses you ten thousand times ♪
♪ Just to tell you he loves you ♪
