Thought I could make it without you
Thought I could walk away
And never look backThought I had the secret
To stop these eyes from crying
Told myself he were no good
So what's the need in tryingBut 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 yoursI guess I should have learned
From all the beforesI wrote a nice long letter
Explaining my reasons for leaving
Hoping it would tear you apart
And leave you grievingI 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 knockWithout 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 doorsI guess I should have learned
From all the beforesPromising to be better
And getting into my head
I don't know how to be nothing but yoursI guess I should have learned
From all the befores
