Same Mistake

I know this is crazy
But please don't close the door
If you don't like what I have to say
I won't show up anymore
And there's no doubt another chance
Is more than I deserve
After all this time
And after all the hurt

When I look back through the chapters of my life
My one regret is telling you goodbye

Now I know
I never should have let you go
I'm so tired of wondering what might have been
And seeing what I could have been
Even though
My heart was telling me to stay
I had to turn and walk away
But not today
I promise I won't make the same mistake

This might not be the moment
And I might be out of line
But it might not be too late to start
The life we left behind
And there's no expectation
To forgive me and forget
But whatever comes
I just can't leave another word unsaid

Now I know
I never should have let you go
I'm so tired of wondering what might have been
And seeing what I could have been
Even though
My heart was telling me to stay
I had to turn and walk away
But not today
I promise I won't make the same mistake

When I look back through the chapters of my life
The hardest thing was telling you goodbye

Now I know
I never should have let you go
I'm so tired of wondering what might have been
And seeing what I could have been
Even though
My heart was telling me to stay
I had to turn and walk away
But not today
I promise I won't make the same mistake
