Could of, should of, but I showed up late (but I blew it)
never thought I'd be the one to say that I should have been a better child. (no more)

(Chorus)
Back when this meant something more, before my eyes shut out everything that means the most to me.

Wait, so wait, before you lay her in the ground I said.
Mark this as another fateful day,
no I didn't have to be this way. (no more)

(Chorus)
Back when this meant something more, before my eyes shut out everything that means the most to me.

Don't you think this has gone too far? I think I'm breaking down.

(Chorus)
Back when this meant something more, before my eyes shut out everything that means the most.

Hold your head up high this is something that time won't heal.
Follow sounds of church bells ringing oh, I'm in.
