Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm alone and lonely
I think of how a fool I've been for
Breaking your heart, girl, it wasn't my plan

I realize that ------------
Can't find a way to say I'm sorry
One thing I know is that I miss you badly, yeah

If I told you I was very sorry
Would you think that I was lying to you, girl?

Please come back to me

Don't ever want to lose your love, girl
I promise that I'll love you truly
If you come back to me, I'll cherish you dearly, yeah
