  • I roll over but it's empty
    You used to lay here beside me
    I swallow my pride 'cause it's all on me
    Is it too late? Forgive me
    Did you mean what you said? Are you angry?
    Lost more than a friend, now I'm on my knees

    I don't know why I'm praying tonight
    But if you can hear me
    Tell me if you hear me

    And I should have called
    And I should have tried
    And I should have walked you home every night
    And I should have kissed you ten thousand times
    Just to tell you I love you
    I should have done it all
    All for you, baby
    But now I'm just a little too late
    To be what you needed
    But I hope that he is

    You took me around but we got nowhere
    'Cause you were naïve while I was too scared
    So when we lit a fire, you run towards the flames
    And I start around and I watched you burn
    Then arose up to claim you and left you in the dirt
    Kept my hands to myself like I kept my word
    Fool you once, never twice, I guess you've learned

    And I don't know why I'm praying tonight
    But if you can hear me
    Tell me if you hear me

    And I should have called
    And I should have tried
    And I should have walked you home every night
    And I should have kissed you ten thousand times
    Just to tell you I love you
    I should have done it all
    All for you, baby
    But now I'm just a little too late
    To be what you needed
    But I hope that he is

    I shouldn't have promised that I'd never fall
    But you saw the writing all over the walls
    I try not to cry in the places we'd go to
    But I still fucking care for you

    I hope that he calls
    I hope that he tries
    I hope that he walks you home every night
    I hope that he kisses you ten thousand times
    Just to tell you he loves you Writer/s: Cian Ducrot
