When you told me you needed a little time on your own

I kinda lied and said I'd be alright all alone

My friends said hey man what can you do

Let her see what's missing and she'll come back to you

They all said it was for the best

But I knew as I watched you leave



I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees

I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart

Come back baby please

I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried

I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be

I should've listened to me



Call it intuition, an instinctual feeling

When you know you bet it all and your gonna lose everything

That's what I had when you walked out the door

And as each day passes I'm feeling it more and more

Now that I'm hear it's all so clear

How could I have made you see



I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees

I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart

Come back baby please

I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried

I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be

I should've listened



I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees

I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart

Come back baby please

I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried

I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be

I should've listened to me

I should've listened to me
