Thought I could make it   Without you   Thought I could walk away   And never look back      Thought I had the secret   To stop these eyes from crying   Told myself he were no good   So what's the need in trying      But as you see, here I am   Loving you stronger than ever   Promising to be better   Getting into my head   I don't know how   To be nothing but yours      I guess I should have learned   From all the befores      I wrote a nice long letter   Explaining my reasons for leaving   Hoping it would tear you apart   And leave you grieving      I bet you didn't even read it   You're so familiar with the lines   You just glanced up at the clock   'Cause you knew the exact time I'd knock      Without pride   Here I stand   Waiting for your forgiveness   This is where I belong   Come what may   This time I'll stay   You might as well lock all the doors      I guess I should have learned   From all the befores      Promising to be better   And getting into my head   I don't know how to be nothing but yours      I guess I should have learned   From all the befores
