When things are over, done and done
There's this nagging feeling pulling me back in
Nothing I do could make things different
But I wonder how else it could have been
Regret that I don't change
Regret I didn't make a change like you have done for me a thousand times
Regret that I don't listen, when it should have been obliged, I was a fool to say the least
When you walked off, I couldn't say goodbye
And though you're gone, you linger in my mind
Yeah, it wasn't mutual, I know best, but I won't hold you in contempt
Would you leave my heart, leave my heart behind
Sometimes I wish, us never happened
Where the slate is clean like when we first began
But I would miss, the happy memories
That you forged with me when times were better then
Regret that I broke promises
Regret I didn't put you first and be someone you always could depend
Regret that I took you for granted, knowing me I should have treasured you, till the end
When you walked off, I couldn't say goodbye
And though you're gone, you linger in my mind
Yeah, it wasn't mutual, I know best, but I won't hold you in contempt
Would you leave my heart, leave my heart behind
Deep down I will always welcome you
If it hasn't been such a long time overdue
You showed a side of me I never knew
Yet this exchange was shortchanged, so you outgrew
When you walked off, I couldn't say goodbye
And though you're gone, you linger in my mind
Yeah, it wasn't mutual, I know best, but I won't hold you in contempt
Would you leave my heart, leave my heart behind
Yeah, I was careless, I confess, made a few wrong moves, you know the rest
Would you leave my heart, leave my heart behind
