Lyrics
Words
c 2014 Mark Berkowitz
I can't believe you're really gone
Taste of your tears lingers on
Like your scent on the scarf you left behind
Fading footsteps echo in my mind
Said I took you for granted
In the stillness of the night
I toss and turn can't stop thinkin you're right
Those three words I didn't say
Told you to walk away
Those three words stood in our way
And now it's too late
I don't understand the reasons
I freeze up and can't let go
Then you'd whisper you believe in me.
Even though I disappointed you so
I was a fool not to realize
We might have had it all
You're not to blame
I know that it's my fault
Those three words I couldn't say
Told you to walk away
Those three word stood in our way
Now it's too late
Bridge
And I'm first learnin how I need to grow
So tired and still such a long way to go
I can't believe the price I paid it's true
I was afraid
I promised that I'd change but you
You left me anyway
