lyrics

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?
