Just One Time

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I complain, though nothing's even wrongThat's when I said I'll need, more than

you can offer me

I miss your face, as you can tell

Hope my absence makes you well

and you're ashamed, 'cause you're not quite that strong

[chorus]

Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you

I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to

but I am older now, and I am sorry too

so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you

I am shy, I never speak a word

And you are numb, from all the things you never heard

That's when I said I'll need more than you can offer me

And now I own an empty space

And I can't fill it with your face

[chorus]

Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you

I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to

but I am older now, and I am sorry too

so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you

That's when I said I'll need, more than you can offer me

I miss your face, as you can tell

Hope my absence makes you well

[chorus]

Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you

I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to

but I am older now, and I am sorry too

so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you
