Unsaveable
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So cruel
Yeah that's all that I got from you
Tell me what in the world could I do
But leave
After all that you've done to me
Now it's so easy to say I'm over you
'Cause Baby I cried a little too hard
A little too long
What I thought was right
Was way too wrong
And too far gone
I can't bring back the love
There just ain't enough
Available
Impossible
Unsaveable
Here
You come
Tryin' to make up for what you've done
It's too late to say you're sorry now
Now it's your turn
For you can't cross that bridge you burned
You're on you own when will you learn
[Chorus]
Love
There's someone out there for me
Who thinks I'm beautiful
I've got to go
[Chorus]
