She said as she finished packin’
This time I’m not movin’ back in
I don’t want to wait forever
Some things just don’t fit together

She said I’m so tired of cryin’
I can’t even feel you tryin’
I’m a fool for ever thinking’
You would notice my heart breakin’

I could not believe my ears I begged for one last chance
The lights were on and the band’s gone home and I had missed the dance
As every excuse that I’d ever used went spinnin’ through my head
I realized that she was right with every single word she said

She said as her tears were fallin’
I beg you please don’t bother callin’
Cry on someone else’s shoulder
It’s hard enough just startin’ over

She said I’ve been thinkin’ lately
You never did appreciate me
But I know love is always gamblin’
Then I heard the front door slammin’

I could not believe my ears I begged for one last chance
The lights were on and the band’s gone home and I had missed the dance
As every excuse that I’d ever used went spinnin’ through my head
I realized that she was right with every single word she said

She stared in disbelief when I swore I could change
And how ashamed I felt right then
For every star, every beat of my heart, every hour of every day
I’d be the man I should have been

I could not believe my ears I begged for one last chance
The lights were on and the band’s gone home and I had missed the dance
As every excuse that I’d ever used went spinnin’ through my head
I realized that she was right with every single word she said
I heard every word she said
