Wash away those tears
And look me in the eyes
I’ll make it clear
This time you don’t have to fear
I know I’ve made my mistakes
But I can’t change, I can’t fix the past
I know I’m not good enough
But still you come back for more
So tell me, tell me why you never left
When I told you, told you I’d always be there
And every promise I can’t keep, can’t make
Never seemed to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left
I could tell you how
I wanted things to be
And why right now
I’m saying you don’t have to fear
I know I’ve been gone away
But I can’t change, I can’t take us back
I know I’m not good enough
But I won’t try this time
I’ll do what it takes
So tell me, tell me why you never left
When I told you, told you I’d always be there
And every promise I can’t keep, can’t make
Never seemed to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left
I’ve always meant what I’ve said
But so many things were left unsaid
I promise you I am done
Leaving and saying things I’ll never do
So tell me, tell me why you never left
When I told you, told you I’d always be there
So tell me, tell me why you never left
When I told you, told you I’d always be there
And every promise I can’t keep, can’t make
Never seemed to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left
When all I did was wrong
