Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
My pride gets in the way sometimes
It had me biting my tongue when you said goodbye (Yeah, yeah yeah)
My fault I let you out my life
I needed time to cool off
Don't wanna let this slide
I wanna make this right
When I'm missing you every night
I feel it sink in
And I start thinking
What if you're the only one that I ever needed
What if I had stopped you
When you said you were leaving
No, won't let you go
What if this is something that I'll never get over
Talking to my friends and they're all saying
I told you so
Can't lеt you go (Won't let you go)
I wanna make this right
Tell you all thе things
I know I shoulda told you
When you were closer
Cause I keep thinking
What if you're the only one that I ever needed
What if I had stopped you
When said you were leaving
No, can't let you go-o-o
[Verse 2]
I can't help but wonder where your head and heart is
Maybe that's the reason why I'm scared of calling
Oh did you find someone new? (Did you find someone new?)
Or do you still miss it too?
But if I'm being honest
I wanna make this right
When I'm missing you every night
I feel it sink in
And I start thinking
What if you're the only one that I ever needed
What if I had stopped you
When you said you were leaving
No, won't let you go
What if this is something that I'll never get over
Talking to my friends and they're all saying
I told you so
Can't let you go (Won't let you go)
I wanna make this right
Tell you all the things
I know I shoulda told you
When you were closer
Cause I keep thinking
What if you're the only one that I ever needed (Yeah)
What if I had stopped you
When you said you were leaving
No, can't let you go-o-o
I can't help but wonder where your head and heart is
Maybe that's the reason why I'm scared of calling
