Just one more chance That's all I ask Just one more try I know we can get this right I know it's been hard to completely disregard Everything we've put each other through But just know that I am here for you and that I will never give up Because I still have your smell on my skin So I pray to God that you're all in Because I don't want to do this again Just say that I'm yours and that you're mine And in the end we'll be just fine Can it be like how it was when we began? I know that we haven't been normal lately I know we'll be fine Things like this just take time But I'm so afraid your mind's been changed Because things just aren't quite the same And it seems like we're always feeling pain But I swear you are worth it to me Because I still have your smell on my skin So I pray to God that you're all in Because I don't want to do this again Just say that I'm yours and that you're mine And in the end we'll be just fine Can it be like how it was when we began? I feel like you've drifted away because of these past few weeks and everything I would say I feel like you're already gone Do you love me anymore or was trying again so wrong? Because I don't have your smell on my skin Now I don't know where to begin Because, darling, I can't do this again I need to be yours and I need you as mine Oh, God, please tell me we'll be fine Can it be like how it was when we began? Can it be like how it was when we began? Before my face was buried in my hands Can it be like how it was when we began?

Why I Let Go 03:13
Alcohol has become my melatonin And now all these thoughts I have are flowing I feel like I am not growing because of all the things that I am showing They show me that I'm a scared little child who is afraid to let go Who lets their emotions run wild And I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry Because all I care about now is the bottle against my lips And all you care about is forgetting that I exist And it's terrible when your obsession for someone turns to depression Because they are obsessed with forgetting every word you've ever mentioned They want to throw the past in the trash like a used napkin I don't want you to see the state that I am in If it wasn't for you I'd be fine So why the hell can't I get you off my mind? Why does your smile still motivate me and make me think about the good times? I should feel regret and shame, and feel as if you were never mine because that's honestly all this was I feel like I was your experiment in love Where you tested and hypothesized every formula you could think of And I was the subject who wasn't supposed to change But with all of these experiments, how could I stay the same? I'm sorry this was too hard, and that I am so demanding All I wanted was your love and a bit of understanding Understand you broke my heart and getting over that's not easy If it was I'd forget everything that happened Please believe me I'd forget that you left me crying alone on the floor with a knife against my chest, yelling "Nothing's worth living for!" I'd forget you started seeing the friend you said would always be nothing But as soon as I was gone you and he turned into something And that's why my trust is broken And why I'm not easily mended I told you it would take time and you said you understand this You said you wanted us again and that you would never leave my side And I was so taken by you I was foolish enough to believe in your lie Every single fib you spoon fed me and all of your positivity when you said you wanted this And that you were still in love with me But I guess it's when things aren't easy that people believe that leaving is probably for the best At least you'll never see me or everything you've made me Because you're two hours away and enjoying the rest of your days with your friends and your drinks and the company I don't even want to think about But of course I'm stuck here again Thinking about our past all the time And trying to get you to still be mine But I've realized we can never be friends
