Nights were young
I was invincible
I was living for myself
My survival, suicidal, cool
You can't live that way
And I found myself begging youI'd pretend I was good to you
That you were always on my mind
And for a moment you believed it too
But I can't lie forever
And you found the truth haunting you
Haunting youI know you're leaving
Cause I always take too long
Cause I always get it wrong
I'm a fool. I'm not defeated
You're the only one I love
I've got to find a way
To make things right with youI never wanted you to save me
Another question holding you
We're late, it makes you mad.Every day I see him beside you
Is he treating you alright?
The things I'd do if I was in his shoes
No more taking for granted
Everything I get from you
Get from youI know you're leaving
Cause I always take too long
Cause I always get it wrong
I'm a fool. I should've seen it
It's gonna be a lonely, lonely road ahead
If I can't find a way
To make things right with youYeah, I admit it
But before you walk away
I only need a chance to tell you how I feel
I'm not defeated
You're the only one I love
I've got to find a way
To make things right with youYou were never gonna save me
Don't see the difference in a maybe
Maybe I missed the point the answer was a lesson
Too lateI know you're leaving
Cause I always take too long
Cause I always get it wrong
I'm a fool, I should've seen it
It's gonna be a lonely, lonely road ahead
If I can't find a way
To make things right with youYeah, I admit it
But before you walk away
I only need a chance to tell you how I feel
I'm not defeated
You're the only one I love
I've got to find a way
To make things right with you
