I had no reason to let her go
But I can't undo what has been done
And for a long time I kept believing
I'd be glad the day she found someone
Someone again who would hold her close
Someone again who would hold her tight
Said in the play-words of my speech
Someone who knows how to love and treat her right
Ain't a man who loved you right when I was wrong
(Right when I was - right when I was wrong)
I've been trying to make you happy for so long
I had no reason to let you know
About the things I feel inside
But I can't help sharing my thoughts with you
It didn't hurt when I was leaving
It twisted when you cried only to break when you found somebody new
Ain't a man who loved you right when I was wrong
(Right when I was - right when I was wrong)
I've been trying to make you happy for so long
(Happy for so - happy for so long)
In my head I hear your whisper asking me to call
I know I must be fantasizing with my back against the wall
I can hear it in your voice and it is begging me to come
I thought I'd find somebody else but now I know you are the one
Maybe there's a chance
Maybe there is a possibility
Maybe there's a way that you can learn to forgive me
Maybe it's not too late for me to show you I was wrong
Maybe I can bring you back to where you have always belonged
Ain't a man who loved you right when I was wrong
And ever since that day it's been so hard to carry on
I've been trying to make you happy for so long
But maybe our love can live to see another dawn
