Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, don't add to my mistakes
Tell me your not leaving and I'll tell you everything you need to know
Don't throw it all away
Don't say my words are just too late
I don't wanna be left behind
I been so blind
Can we put this back together
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me, I'm in the open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right
You say the story's ending but I think its time we stop pretending
No, can't let you turn the page
Does your heart remember when we use to say forever don't let go
Don't throw it all away
Don't say these words are just too late
I don't wanna be left behind
I been so blind
To all that I have broken
Can we put this back together
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me, I'm in the open
I know this will take time
Can we put the past behind (put the past behind)
Tonight I'm gonna fight for you
Just give me one last chance to make it right
Last chance to make it right
I don't wanna be left behind
I been so blind
To all that I have broken
Can we put this back together
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me, I'm in the open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right
(give me one last chance to make it right)
last chance to make it right
(give me one last chance to make it right)
Oh yeah, no more empty promises, they dont exist
Just me, I'm in the open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right
(Give me one last chance to make it right)

Just heard this song out of the blue after almost 10 years and immediately stopped what I was doing and got massive chills down my spine. This song was my favorite song and I would listen to it for hours on end. Brings back so many memories.
