So this is what it feels like
to be the one left behind
to give it all you've got, then find
you've already changed your mind
And this is what it sounds like
crying on the bed that we both made
waiting for a sign that you just can't give me
any kind of sign
I don't want to be here wide-awake
clinging to a love that can't be saved
hanging off the edge of every word
that you say
So i asked myself, "do i love you so much
that i'm willing to let you go?"
at the tip of my tongue the anser was "yes"
but, at the bottom of my heat i'm wondering...
Did i say that?
did i say that?
sometimes you know i over react
and what i say is not a matter of fact
i wish that i could take it all back
And you know i'd drag myself through fire at your side
and you know the gates of heaven are surely open wide
and i need some sympathy here
and i need someone to call my own
i'm standing in the light of my mistakes
and begging you, "come home."
And i know you need some time to run and hide
but the truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your pride
So i asked myself, "do i love you so much
that i'm willing to let you go?"
at the tip of my tongue the answer was "yes"
but, at the back of my mind i'm wondering...
Did i say that?
did i say that?
sometimes you know i over react
and what i say is not a matter of fact
i wish that i could take it all back
but i said that
And i wish i could take it all back
And i need some sympathy here
and i want a love to call my own
i want to take you in the back seat now
and slowly drive you home
And i know you need some time to run and hide
but the truth is hard to swallow when you're
choking on your pride
i don't want to be this wide-awake
Fighting for a love that i can't save
and hanging off the edge of every word you say
knowing that it might make me cry
i don't want to be this complicating
you can drag it out but i'll be waiting
i stumbled on "i love you" tonight
but it sounded like goodbye
Did i say that?
did i say that?
did i tell you that i loved you cause if
would have been a matter of fact
Did i say that?
this time i'm not letting go
did i say that?
this time i'll have and i'll hold
did i tell you that i loved you cause it
would have been a matter of fact
did i say that?
this time i'm walking through fire
did i say that?
this time i'll feed your desire
did i say that?
this time i'll stand by your side
did i say that?
this time i will be your pride
did i say that?
this time i'm not letting go
did i say that?
this time i'll have and i'll hold
did i say that?
this time i'm walking through fire
did i say that?
and i wish that i could take it all back
So this is what it feels like
to be the one left behind
to give it all you've got then find
that you've already changed your mind
