Your instructions, they were simple.
All I had to do was listen and talk about it.
But I was neglectful, had an ego.
Now that you're gone, I just sit around thinking about us -

I should've been there for you. Baby, that's no excuse.
There's nothing I can say cause the truth, I gotta face.
Should've been my shoulder you cried one.
But instead I did you wrong.
And I apologize, just give me one more try.

If you show me how to love you.
Girl I promise I will be the one.
(Cause of her love)
If you show me how to hold you.
Girl I promise I will be the one.
(Cause of her love)

Just show me how to love you, girl.
Just show me how to love you, girl.
I was selfish, I admit that it had to be my way or no way at all.
Now I see my flaws and the reason I lost you in the first place which was my biggest mistake.

I should've been there for you. Baby, that's no excuse.
There's nothing I can say cause the truth, I gotta face.
Should've been my shoulder you cried one.
But instead I did you wrong.
And I apologize, just give me one more try.
