Let me tell you the saddest story
Love lost left broken and empty
Put my heart in the hands of another
Set a fire to the past and watch me burn
Somehow I guess it's better this way
Looking back was it all just a mistake?
Thought I could live in the arms of another
But I guess I wasn't enough for her
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
I've been putting myself through your Hell
Holding on to things that don't even matter now
You found your place in the arms of another
But now I see it's just the way the Earth will turn
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
Thought I was what you need but I'm just second best
I'll never give it all away again I swear
Don't even look for a heart you'll find there's nothing there
All the years that we spent together have come to an end
(Regret is all I had)
Not sure I would if I could do it all over again
(I can't take it back)
The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither
(Regret is all I had)
But this is the last song I'll write about you
Forget my name
Forget my face
It was all just empty space
Deadweight; no longer part of me

You can't say I didn't try
If I'm honest, I probably gave a little too much
Been on the edge for a while
'Cause I promised that I would be, yeah
You can say I wasn't good enough, but you know
That that doesn't change what really happened here
Then I have grown into someone you never thought I could
Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright
'Cause I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind
There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words
Hate to hear you're doing fine
If I'm honest, I think about you all the time
But we left us behind to find out what we could be
Yeah, you brought out the worst of me, so I know
If I stay, then we would both drown
But now I've grown into someone you never thought I could
Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright
'Cause I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind
There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words to
I don't need you, I don't need you
After all's said and done, I know I'm gonna get through this
Rebuild the bridges I've burned down
And find the light in the darkness
After all's said and done, I know I'm gonna get through this
I'll find the light in the darkness, in the darkness
I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind, my mind
There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words to
There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words
I don't need you (I don't need you) no, no, oh-oh
I don't need you (I don't ned you) no, no, no more

It's 3 a.m. you're up, phone by your pillow again
But you play it cool under cold sheets
Even though that he said he'd let you know
When he got home
Where's he at girl, you don't know
You're scared he'll think that you're crazy
So you drown in the waters and maybes
Maybe baby he ain't the one
And maybe baby you need someone
That's gonna say a place and time
And then show up a little early
Gonna give you all his heart
A little more when you're feeling lonely
You don't have to ask him if he loves you

But I want to comе along and show you
It ain't always got to be lightning and thunder
He won't makе you wonder
You take him back
'Cause he said he's not acting like that
He always says what you're needing
Just to keep you from leaving
Even though, deep down you know he ain't the one
But you can't let him go
You're scared to start it all over
You'd rather flashback to mid October
Maybe baby he ain't the one
And maybe baby you need someone
He's gonna say a place and time
And then show up a little early
Gonna give you all his heart
A little more when you're feeling lonely
You don't have to ask him if he loves you
The right one will come along and show you
It ain't always gotta be lightning and thunder
He won't make you wonder
You shouldn't have to wonder
And he won't make you wonder
And honey I know you do
I drove down the same old road
'Til I stopped to find somebody new
He says a place and a time
And then shows up a little early
He gives me all his heart
Even more when I'm feeling lonely
I never ask him if he loves me
The right one came along and showed me
It ain't always gotta be lightning and thunder
He don't make me wonder
And girl I know you wonder
