The note wasn't long
Just said "we need to talk"
We all know what that means
I had run out the clock
On the time you'd given me
To change my devil ways
The choice was yours to make
There was nothing I could say
That would have changed your mind
That could put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
Falling for you
Left me on my knees
Praying for salvation
From the hurt you let me keep
It only took my heart a beat
To send the message to my head
I didn't find the love I'd lost
Until pain was there instead
How could I have been so blind?
I wouldn't put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
All things considered
It could have gone worse
I went from hook, line and sinker
To chapter, line and verse
My pride had abandoned me
I cried some bitter tears
Accepted the fact
I'd have your memory near
And could have changed your mind
If I would have put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
I could have changed your mind
If I would have put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
Just said "we need to talk"
We all know what that means
I had run out the clock
On the time you'd given me
To change my devil ways
The choice was yours to make
There was nothing I could say
That would have changed your mind
That could put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
Falling for you
Left me on my knees
Praying for salvation
From the hurt you let me keep
It only took my heart a beat
To send the message to my head
I didn't find the love I'd lost
Until pain was there instead
How could I have been so blind?
I wouldn't put the past behind
I should have seen the signs
I just ran out of time
All things considered

And could have changed your mind

If I would have put the past behind

I just ran out of time
