I'd be sittin' tryin' to figure out the reasons why You were always goin' out alone I thought that you were meetin' with some other guy All those times you weren't at home I was wrong but then I didn't understand What you were tryin' to say to me I thought that you were busy makin' other plans And none of those included me But then I always had too many insecurities Why didn't I just decide to let it be? I never should've walked away I should've been there for you, babe I know I handled this all wrong I swear, I didn't know Things are never gonna be the same And I know I'm the one to blame I've gone and left you torn, baby I remember it so clear when I got the call It was the hospital on the phone They told me I had slipped and had a nasty fall And would I come and take you home? Now that was bad enough for them all to say But like the words came out so slow I'm afraid she lost the baby but she'll be okay And I didn't even know But now I see I should've been there from the start Instead of letting it all fall apart I never should've walked away I should've been there for you, babe I know I handled this all wrong I swear, I didn't know Things are never gonna be the same And I know I'm the one to blame I've gone and left you torn, baby But I didn't know I didn't know what was wrong Girl, I didn't know, no I hope you know I never meant to hurt you, girl But I was way too blind to see That you were only trying to protect me, girl I wish you'd had more faith in me Now I realize that I've let you down And you had reasons to act that way I thought that you were cheating when you weren't around That's why I had to walk away But girl, looking back In spite of all that we've been through I'm asking is there still a chance for me and you I never should've walked away I should've been there for you, babe I know I handled this all wrong I swear, I didn't know Things are never gonna be the same And I know I'm the one to blame I've gone and left you torn, baby But I didn't know I never should've walked away I should've been there for you, babe I know I handled this all wrong I swear, I didn't know Things are never gonna be the same And I know I'm the one to blame I've gone and left you torn, baby But I didn't know *
