[Verse 1]

I sent her some flowers, but way too late

All she felt were the thorns in that sweet bouquet

I couldn't make a difference, in the difference I made

She used to hold me till I let go

I would have held her longer if I'd only known

What I took for granted she'd take to another man

Oh, no


[Chorus]

And I can see clearly now all my mistakes

Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face

She's found someone new who'll give more than take

Oh, she's holding the difference I didn't make


[Verse 2]

What she sees in him could have been me, if I took the time to give her all she needs

A change of heart, a new attitude, and everything he did that I didn't do


[Chorus]

And I can see clearly now all my mistakes

Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face

She's found someone new, who'll give more than take

Oh, she's holding the difference, I didn't make


[Bridge]

Next time if there's a next time

I'll make the time to make her see

The last time was the last time

She won't see the difference in me

Oh, no


[Chorus]

Oh, I can see clearly now all my mistakes

Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face

She's found someone new, who'll give more than take

Oh, she's holding the difference

Yes, she's holding the difference

Oh, she's holding the difference

I didn't make
