I wish you'd look   Who's crawling back to you   I never thought   I'd live to see today      I swore to you the day I left   This time I'd go for good   And I was even proud enough   To tell myself I could      But it took a lot of lonely nights   To ever change my mind   It took a lot of missing youth   And things that I'd left behind      Intending to keep going   But the going got too rough   And pride's not hard to swallow   Once you chew it long enough      I know we won't   Always see eye to eye   But if you'll take me back   This time I'll really try      So many things I could have done   So much I failed to do   I've never needed anyone   As much as I need you      And it took a lot of lonely nights   To ever change my mind   It took a lot of missing youth   And things that I'd left behind      Intending to keep going   But the going it got too rough   And my pride's not hard to swallow   Once I've chewed it long enough
