lyrics

I said I'd never let you
I said I'd never let you down
But I never seem to
I never seem to turn around
Two shots of Jamie, please
And I'll fall down to my knees and repent
For all those things I said
I hope you know that's not what I meant

Let's not forget all the times
That you said it was fine
When I knew I was making it worse
There's only so many ways
I can ruin your days
Before it feels like we've rehearsed
So I can only pretend that it works
And say good night

I never meant to make you
I never meant to make you leave
I wish you would have given
Given me a chance to grieve
Just pour the next one neat
It'll make my life complete for now
When I get my life squared away
I'll come right home every day to you

I can't believe how much time
Has gone by with you mine
While I whittled our lives so far down
If I could give it all up
To get back what I was
I would sign with my blood right now
But there is no way I can so I watch
And say good night

Let's not forget all the times
That you said it was fine
When I knew I was making it worse
There's only so many ways
I can ruin your days
Before it feels like we've rehearsed
So I can only pretend that it works
And say good night

I wish I'd never seen your
Wish I'd never seen your soul
Cause I can never make you
I can never make you whole
