If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to cry myself to sleep The sorrow I once felt, I'd finally stopped falling apart But it was too late to say you ended the story And left me, the one who loved and cared for you so well I blame myself every day But once I knew the truth I couldn't hold back I wouldn't ask you to stay if I just knew you Left to meet him I wouldn't ask you to say you still loved your ex Just seeing you made me understand I didn't want to ask I wouldn't take it too far, I'd go back and try with him first If you were going to start over, why didn't you let go of your old love? There must be more people hurt from the love you weren't sure of Waiting for you to come back isn't tiring It's like knowing who you really love The secret person keeps me counting down the minutes When he comes back, I have to go I waited for you every day Until I found out the truth You never loved me I wouldn't ask you to stay if I just knew you Left to meet him I wouldn't ask you to say you still loved your ex Just seeing you made me understand I didn't want to ask I wouldn't take it too far, I'd go back and try with him first What you told me was that we weren't compatible I just want a break from all the problems and things that are weighing on me You broke up with me, it's sad to stay To go back to your ex you still love him I wouldn't ask you to stay if I just knew you Left to meet him I wouldn't ask you to tell me you still love your ex I understand I don't want to ask I won't go back and try with him first No matter how far we've come, we have to go back You planted me but never watered me You never asked if I loved you I understand the answer is always him, every moment
