Song : Never Should Have Walked Away

Verse 1

I can sit and try to figure out the reasons why, you were always going out
Alone
I thought that you were meeting with some other guy, all those times you
Weren't at home
I was wrong but then I didn't understand, what you were trying to say to me
I thought that you were busy making other plans, none of those including me

But then I always had, too many insecurities
Why didn't I just decide to let it be?

Chorus

I never should have walked away
I should've been there for you babe
I know I handled this all wrong
I swear, I didn't know
Things are never gonna be the same
And I don't want no one to blame
I've gone and left you torn, baby(Well I didn't know)

Verse 2

I remember it so clear when I got the call
It was the hospital on the phone
They told me how you slipped and had a nasty fall
And would I come and take you home
Now that was bad enough but they had more to say
Felt like the words came out so slow
"I'm afraid she lost the baby, but she'll be ok."
And I didn't even know

But now I see I should've been there from the start
Instead of letting it all fall apart

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

I didn't know what was wrong
Girl I didn't know

Verse 3

I hope you know I never meant to hurt you girl
But I was way too blind to see
That you were only trying to protect me girl
I wish you'd had more faith in me
Now I realize that I've let you down
And you have reasons to act that way
I thought that you were cheating when you weren't around
Thats why I had to walk away

But girl looking back, in spite of all that we've been through
I'm asking is there still a chance for me and you?

Repeat Chorus X2
