Ten Years

I remember when I saw you there

What did you see in me? Tell me

Let all the people stop and stare

You were the only one that I could see

Time comes and time goes by

We loved, we laughed, I failed, you tried

And now I understand why

I have to be the one to blame

Ten years down the line I never meant to waste your time

So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me

You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one

And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry

See I was standing up with things to say

So I had to decide

For me it was either you or them

And I was running out of precious time

You see, I had to see the world

I knew it meant losing you, my girl

Since I lost it all today

These simple words to you I'd say

We should have given up at least a thousand times

So girl, I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote me off, no

You see I know that I put my friends before you

And I constantly ignored who was in my corner

Now, I apologize

Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time

So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me

You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one

And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry

Don't you now that

You should have given up at least one thousand times

But, girl, why would I be surprised, why would it shock me?

When you write me off but you can't

Can't you see I, I put my band, I put my band

Wow, I ignored you

Then in return, you were there for me

And I, I apologize

Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time

So glad you never through in the towel on you and me

You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one

And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry

I'm sorry
