You're all alone 
And I did this 
I've got 
No one else to blame 
You didn't know 
I was a risk 
And it's such 
crying shame 
How you gave me 
All of you 
And wanted 
Nothing else from me 
But to make 
Some time for you 
But all I made you 
Was lonely 

I couldn't see 
But I know 
That I acted 
Selfishly 
I shoulda known 
That I let you down 
Caused you 
So much misery 
Forever to bleed (5x) 

I shoulda been there (4x) 

All of the times 
You used to cry 
Because 
I would let you down 
I'm losing time 
I shoulda tried 
little more 
To be around 
But I didn't know 
That you were hurting 
I was just to blind 
Only thing 
I know for certain 
Another you 
I'll never find 

I couldn't see 
But I know 
That I acted selfishly 
I shoulda known 
That I let you down 
Caused you 
So much misery 
Forever to bleed (5x) 
I shoulda been there (4x) 

I'm through 
With regret 
I'm gonna tip 
And soak myself 
In misery 
Now in yo life 
I'll take more time 
No more yearning 
Without me 
But it hurts 
To think of you 
All by yo self 
But now I see 
And I apologize 
Ffor all the times 
I left you home 
Waiting for me 

I couldn't see 
But I know 
That I acted 
Selfishly 
I shoulda known 
That I let you down 
Caused you 
So much misery 
Forever to bleed (4x) 

(2x) 
I'm gonna be there 
(I'm gonna be there) 
I'm gonna be there 
(I'm gonna be there) 
I'm gonna be there 
(I'm gonna be there) 
I'm gonna be there 

Uh, oh, uh, oh 
Uh, oh, uh 
Ohhhhhhhh
