I thought it was over I thought I could move on But I was wrong I woke up last night Calling your name Feeling the blame baby Thought I could quit you but I still miss your love What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you You've got every right To turn and walk away I can't make you stay I broke your heart I wasted so much precious time baby I see you with your friends Wearing a smile again What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you Thought I could quit you But I still miss your love What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you Oh girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment Without you
