lyrics

If it's in your capacity, forgive me
Cause maybe I'll forget
I think you're longing for your family
And that might be for the best and well
It's not the way that you'd keep it all in your head
Cause you're not convincing
I realize that at this point the love we bear is an awful weight

We stayed and danced by the moonlight
To a song on the jukebox, that I hoped that you would like
and it's like I'm leaving everything right here in Atlanta
I'll stay right here in bed with you if only time would let us

And I tried to give you all the best of me
I was an awkward little kid, who tried to hard to give you everything
And I'd fight off every doubt in the back of your head, if you would let me
There's some things I can't control, though I wish it realistically
And I told you not to come with me
You're not my failure's responsibility
And I can't make an honest girl of you
If you're out there living my dreams
And I can't take you on that stage with me
So I won't blame you if at any point you decide
It might be best to leave
And I know you weren't listening

And it's hard
To tell you I was wrong after everything
And I know you won't forgive me

You said it best, you said it

And I'll pray, that I make up for all of these mistake
It's an awful mess that I've made
And I'll take that to my grave
