I’m sorry for the way that I was
I can’t change it now
I know that it’s just not enough
But it’s all I know how
To say I’m sorry I’ll do better
Looking at you
Maybe I’ll always regret it
But there’s nothing to do
Please don’t look at me that way
I know what you’re going to say
That I was wrong to have promised
My heart wasn’t honest
Weak because I couldn’t stay
Please don’t
please don’t
look at me that way
I’m sorry that when our times got rough
I started to drown
I know that you’ve just had enough
But I can’t turn around
To say I’m sorry I knew better
Looking at you
I think I’ll always regret it
But there’s nothing to do
Please don’t
Look at me that way
I know what you’re going to say
That I was wrong to have promised
My heart wasn’t honest
Weak because I couldn’t stay
Please don’t
Please don’t look at me that way
You know
We both have made mistakes
You know
We’ve caused each other pain
You know
I’m starting to lose faith
I’ve got to go
It’s time, you know
Don’t tell me I should stay
Please don’t
Look at me that way
I know what you’re going to say
I was wrong to have promised
My heart wasn’t honest
Weak because I couldn’t stay
Please don’t
please don’t
look at me that way
Please don’t look at me that way

Think I fell hard
For the melody
The symphony
The foggy nights
You’d sing to me
The finer things
Sold out the show
Of my little soul
And it just turned me green
I thought it’d hold
Me together
But it just made me bleed
And now everyone is getting older
And I don’t really like you sober
Always I believed
The world was mine to keep
But everyone is getting older
And I don’t really like you sober
Praise for the memories
Of all the sweet nothings
My ego bruised
When the elegance
Turned arrogant
Without a clue
You painted me
A fantasy
Stood in the cold
For a little breeze
But my lips were
Turning blue
I thought it’d bring
Me a simple ease
But I’m lost like you
And now everyone is getting older
And I don’t really like you sober
Always I believed
The world was mine to keep
But everyone is getting older
And I don’t really like you sober
Praise for the memories
Of all the sweet nothings
Everyone is getting older
I never really liked you sober
Always I believed
The world was mine to keep
But everyone is getting older
I never really liked you sober
Now I do believe
In all the sweet nothings

I want to just be yours
Sit on your back porch
Laugh like we used to early on
Play me one of your favorite songs
I know the times have been changing
Words now don’t mean the same thing
I swallowed my pride and I’m waiting
Waiting for you to come home
You swore not to leave, leave me alone
Maybe we knew all along
You told me to always be strong
Maybe we knew all along
I’d be waiting for you to come home
Tell me your worst joke
Dressed in your best clothes
Take my hand don’t let me go
Start to sway as you pull me close
I know, I know it’s insane but
The memories keep me from changing
I hold on to hope and I’m waiting
Waiting for you to come home
You swore not to leave, leave me alone
Maybe we knew all along
You told me to always be strong
Maybe we knew all along
I’d be waiting for you to come home
Why did you
Lay me in the dark
What do I do
To go back to the start
You swore not to leave me alone
Now I’m waiting for you to come
Waiting for you to come home
