As the Saying Goes

You stood and cleared your throat, then every word you spoke

Seemed to fall out of your mouth, hit the ground and explode

Somethin' about the truth, and that you wanted me to know

I was workin' all the time and how you haven't been alone

You said that you were sorry, how it had been hell

It hadn't been a home 'cause you been in a hotel

You turned your phone towards me and I felt my world melt

'Cause I was lookin' at this picture of you and someone else

Cliched, cliched, I know, but it's hard to give up hope

And as the saying goes

It's better late than never, there's pride before a fall

It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all

Hearts were built for breaking, if you love 'em, set them free

Time's the greatest healer, and what will be will be

I just know that I miss you, and none of it helps

Please come back to me

I walked from my front door to my car and drove straight to the bar

Sat down and looked at the scars across my arms

It all came floodin' back like I been sittin' in the dark

How quickly I forgot that I had come so far

'Cause you were more than this, said I'd never do it again

'Cause you said it hurt to see me do it to myself

Well, that's all gone now, and you're not here to help

Because you gave up on me just like everybody else

I wished that I'd been better, the person that you needed

I'm so much better than sittin' here and bleedin'

I'm not gonna let this get worse and take hold

I made a promise to myself and I'll make it home

And as the saying goes

It's better late than never, there's pride before a fall

It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all

Hearts were built for breaking, if you love 'em, set them free

Time's the greatest healer, and what will be will be

I just know that I miss you, and none of it helps

Please come back to me

They all say I'll be fine, you'll barely cross my mind

Just give it time, oh, time

They all say I'll survive, you'll barely cross my mind

Just give it time, oh, time

It's better late than never, there's pride before a fall

It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all

Hearts were built for breaking, if you love 'em, set them free

Time's the greatest healer, and what will be will be

I just know that I miss you, and none of it helps

Please come back to me
