The Coronas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before you go take a look at the mess you've made.
Yeah she don't know if her heart will ever be the same.
And she don't love you cause you're half the man you used to be,
And why should she yeah you've lost yourself in honesty.
You won't get my sympathy don't miss the one that got away.
Pray... it's not too late to make a change

Before you go take a look at the mess you've made
It takes it's toll the lies you told to ease the pain
You've had your fun now it's time for you to search your soul
Look what you've done yeah you've lost it now your hearts gone cold.

And she don't love you cause you're half the man you used to be,
And why should she yeah you've lost yourself in honesty.
You won't get my sympathy don't miss the one that got away.
Pray... it's not too late to make a change

So understand yeah you've seen it all you know it's real
But you're a better man when you're in love that's when you can feel
And what she don't know is how long it takes to get you true
Nowhere to go now she's reaching out to someone knew

And she don't love you cause you're half the man you used to be,
And why should she yeah you've lost yourself in honesty.




You won't get my sympathy don't miss the one that got away.
Pray... it's not too late to make a change
