Hey, I didn't mean a thing I said last night
I swear I didn't mean a word I used
You don't have to listen, baby, you have every right
To feel that heart of yours has been abused

I know I've used up all my chances a long, long time ago
And I really don't deserve to call you mine
But, if I told you that I loved you, could I lay back down beside you?
Could you take it on faith one more time?

Look at me I'm crying, imagine me crying
Well, it's time I learned to anyway
'Cause if you're really set on one of us leaving
I guess there's really nothing left to say

It seems like such a shame, but baby, I could never blame you, baby
for leaving this old story far behind
And if I told that I love you, could I lay back down beside you?
Could you take it on faith one more time?

I know I promised to you before
I wouldn't do anything to hurt you no more
If I could take it all back and start again
Take it all back well, maybe then I could tell you that I love you

I could lay back down beside you
I could tell you that I love you, lay back down beside you
If I told you that I love, could I lay back down beside you?
Could you take me on faith one more time?
