I had no reason to let her go
But I can't undo what has been done
And for a long time, I kept believing
I'd be glad the day she found someone

Someone again who would hold her close
Someone again who would hold her tight
Said in the play-words of my speech
Someone who'll know how to love and treat her right

Ain't a man who loved you right when I was wrong (Right when I was, right when I was wrong)
I've been trying to make you happy for so long

I had no reason to let you know
About the things I feel inside
But I can't help sharing my thoughts again
It didn’t hurt when I was leaving
It twisted when you cried only to break when you found somebody new

Ain’t a man who loved you right when I was wrong (right when I was, right when I was wrong)
I’ve been trying to make you happy for so long (happy for so, happy for so long)

Ain’t a man who loved you right when I was right (right when I was, right when I was right)
I’ve been trying to make you happy for so long (happy for so, happy for so long)

In my head I hear your whisper asking me to call
I know I must be fantasizing with my back against the wall
I can hear it in your voice and it is begging me to come
I thought I’d find somebody else but now I know you are the one

Maybe there’s a chance
Maybe there is a possibility
Maybe there’s a way that you can learn to forgive me
Maybe it’s not too late for me to show you I was wrong
Maybe I can bring you back to where you have always belonged

Ain’t a man who loved you right when I was wrong
And ever since that day it’s been so hard to carry on
I’ve been trying to make you happy for so long
But maybe our love can live to see another dawn
