Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohh
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Mmm
Yeahh
I can't help but to think that it's all my fault
That you're not here with me
If I could sell my soul for one more call
If I could just say one thing
Oh It's been 2 months since you've been gone
And she still can't see herself alone
My mistakes yeah they been eating me alive
If I didn't make em maybe you'd still be alive
Oh I think about that everyday
Oh It always crosses my mind
(It always crosses my mind)
I can't help but to think that it's all my fault
That you're not here with me
If I could sell my soul for one more call
If I could just say one more thing, one more thing
I would tell you that I'm sorry
I would tell you what's been on my mind
All this shit that I've been feeling is haunting
If I could really be honest
I would tell you I still cry at night
I missed the family trip cause they ain't want my mom to cry when she saw me
I know it still hurt...
I mean I... I know it's not literally my fault but...
If I had just handled things differently that day I...
I don't know...
Maybe things would be different you know?
That's why I... I blame myself
Oh I can't help but to think that it's all my fault
That you're not here with me
If I could sell my soul for one more call
If I could just say one thing
Oh I can't help but to think that it's all my fault
That you're not here with me
Oh if I could sell my soul for one more call
If I could just say one more thing, one more thing
I would tell you that I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...




I miss you like crazy...
I blame myself...
