Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And no one else can take your place
I swear, I swear
Every lie is gonna sweat the truth,
But every dream leads me back to you
It's not fair, I still care
A thousand words could never say
Through all the pain and misery
I give you all that's left of me
I know I'm wrong, but I'll make it right
You say our love's gone cold, but let me bring it to light
I promise you I'll by your side
Give me one more chance, give me one more night
I know you've heard it all before
You tell me that there is much better than me
We'll see
With a broken trust and a broken heart
But I never meant to tear us apart
You know I can't let you go
A thousand words could never say
The way I feel when I speak your name
Through all the pain and misery
I give you all that's left of me
I know I'm wrong, but I'll make it right
You say our love's gone cold, but let me bring it to light
I promise you I'll by your side
Give me one more chance, give me one more night
Give me one more night
I know I'm wrong, but I'll make it right
Give me one more chance, give me one more night
I know I'm wrong, but I'll make it right
You say our love's gone cold, but let me bring it to light
I promise you I'll by your side,
Give me one more chance, give me one more night
Give me one more night
Give me one more night
