Well...

When I see

When I see you again

When I see, you again

 

What I said, was meaningless

What I meant, was… well everything

 

When I answered the door

I didn’t know, who would be there

When I looked into your eyes

I didn’t know, who would look back

 

What I did, was unforgivable

What I tried to do, was… well everything

 

Don’t look back now

Don’t look back now

It’s all a lie…

 

What I felt, was love

What I tried to give to you, was… well everything

 

Tell me I am someone

I just don’t know why

Tell me I am beautiful

I just don’t know how

 

What I said

What I tried to say to you

What I did

What I tried to do for you

What I failed at

…Everything…

 

Don’t take me back

Don’t take me back

I would just fail you again
