Verse 1 You looked at me like I was nothing Like seven years just disappeared Like I ain’t held you when you broke down Like I ain’t wiped away your tears You said I didn’t love you right You said I never made you feel But I was bleeding in the quiet Trying to prove that I was real Pre-Hook And I don’t know when you left me But I know I was still there Reaching for a woman Who already didn’t care Hook You said it was already too late But I was still standing at the door Begging with my heart out Like you ain’t seen it before You called me careless, baby Like I threw your love away But I would’ve died trying And you couldn’t even stay Verse 2 I know you had your storms I know life had you tired But why’d you burn me with it Like I’m the one who lit the fire? I took the sharp side of your anger I swallowed words that cut me deep Then you told me I’m the problem Like you ain’t watched me lose sleep Pre-Hook I would’ve gave you chances I would’ve gave you time I would’ve held your broken pieces While you were breaking mine Hook You said it was already too late But I was still standing at the door Begging with my heart out Like you ain’t seen it before You called me careless, baby Like I threw your love away But I would’ve died trying And you couldn’t even stay Bridge Don’t tell me that you love me Then leave me in the cold Don’t say I meant forever Then let me go like old clothes Don’t tell me I was careless When I cared until it hurt I was digging through the ashes While you buried me in dirt Final Hook You said it was already too late But I was still calling your name Still standing in the wreckage Still taking all the blame You called me careless, baby But I know what I gave I would’ve stayed and fought for you You just walked away Outro That’s what broke me Not that love can fade It’s that I would’ve saved us And you said it was too late Too late Too late I was still there But you were too late to care
