[Verse 1]:
I just came to pack up my stuff
A few things I can’t throw away
But the memories of you, and the love we once knew
Got me wishing for a way I could stay

I know that I’ve made a mistake
I know that the damage is done
And though my poor heart keeps on trying to hang on
In my head, babe, I’m already gone

[Chorus]:
But I wish that I could write you a song
To erase all the pain for the things I’ve done wrong
But there’s no way to sweeten the truth
So I guess this will just have to do

[Verse 2]:
I’m sorry I was so hard to love
I’m sorry that I can’t give you more
I’m sorry I lied to myself for so long
And had one eye always on the door

But I know that someday we’ll meet
On a bright sunny day
I’ll look in your eyes, and I’ll know by your smile
That everything worked out okay

[Chorus]:
But I wish that I could write you a song
To erase all the pain for the things I’ve done wrong
But there’s no way to sweeten the truth
So I guess this will just have to do
Till time brings my heart back to you
