I had a habit of messing up, staying out late and getting drunk
I let you down a thousand times, broken promises
It's like I ran away from you, my career was my excuse
Until I saw you about to drown in your own tears

And as you cried in my arms, you woke up my heart
And I saw again what I found in you
'Cause her heart, her heart won't let me lose her
No matter how I try I just can't say goodbye and lose her

When all the folks were said and done
You were there to welcome me home
I was convicted 'cause your love never wavered
I know you love me more than me and you vowed to love through anything
I never had a kind of love that was forever

And as you cried in my arms, you woke up my heart
And I saw again what I found in you
'Cause her love, her love won't let me lose her
No matter how I try I just can't say goodbye and lose her

'Cause her heart, her heart won't let me lose her
No matter how hard I try I just can't say goodbye and lose her
No matter how hard I try I just can't say goodbye and lose her
No matter how I try I just can't say goodbye and lose her
