[Verse 1] I know that I was not there when you needed me And I took it for granted The way that you treated me, yes After all of the dreams we shared And through all of the pain we beared I know I tore down, the love that we found Will you ever forgive me? Yeah [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I realize where it went wrong All I want is for you to come home It's such shame that our love is gone I'm all alone by the phone I'd do anything for the calls again (I'd do anything) You're the only one that I called a friend Promise me it's not the end But I know you care, and I know you care [Chorus] Look what I've done to us What was I thinking of? I had to go and make it rough I lost the better half of me And now I'm begging, baby please I'll even fall on my knees Anything to make you see That you're the better half of me [Verse 2] You gave me your love and your trust You protected me, oh And when everyone turned away, you stood by me Now I know I was a fool for what I did to you It hurt me inside when you said goodbye Baby, please believe me, yeah [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I realize where it went wrong (I realize) All I want is for you to come home It's such shame that our love is gone I'm all alone by the phone I'd do anything for the calls again (I'd do anything) You're the only one that I called a friend (You, you, you) Promise me it's not the end But I know you care, and I know you care [Chorus] Look what I've done to us What was I thinking of? I had to go and make it rough I lost the better half of me And now I'm begging, baby please I'll even fall on my knees Anything to make you see That you're the better half of me [Bridge] ('Cause I realize where it went wrong) Look what I've done to us What was I thinking of? (All I want is for you to come home) I had to go and make it rough (It's such shame that our love is gone) I lost the better half of me (I'm all alone by the phone) And now I'm begging, baby please (I'd do anything for the calls again) I'll even fall on my knees (You're the only one that I called a friend) Anything to make you see (Promise me it's not the end) That you're the better half of me (But I know you care) [Outro] Don't leave me all alone Oh, please, oh
