A life lived without pain Means a life lived without these lessons learned And I wish that I could take back how I treated you But it's too late An apology will have to do I'm sorry, sorry for everything that I put you through I hate myself for letting go of you It's the one mistake I wish I never made I can't do anything now to keep you off my mind (I need somebody else) I think back on the way that I handled everything And it makes me sick! But I hope that he makes you happy On second thought I hope he slips up and he makes that same mistake that I made I'm holding on til' I see this through I hope that you cash in my I.O.U I'm drowning, drowning in this mess I made But I know that I will be strong And I will move along Pretending everything's okay And hope that we could try again someday Take me back! I'll make it up to you, I swear! Take me back! I'll make it up to (You) mean everything to me I see it now and I can blame myself But you should have put your foot down Never let me walk out I can't do anything now to keep you off my mind (I need somebody else) I think back on the way that I handled everything And it makes me sick! But I hope that he makes you happy On second thought I hope he slips up and he makes that same mistake that I made I'm holding on til' I see this through I hope that you cash in my I.O.U
