[Verse 1]

Even sober, I didn't notice you didn't cry

I guess regret was more yours than it was mine

You didn't sling gravel, you just eased off in the night

And even sober, I didn't notice you didn't cry

Mmm


[Verse 2]

What's my worth, what's my worth mean to you now?

Once I ran all my "I'm sorry"s in the ground

I took you for granted, thought you'd always be around

What's my worth, what's my worth mean to you now?


[Chorus]

Dear old flame, I don't stand a second chance

The third time, no, it ain't always the charm

I'm just here to say that it ain't your fault

That I let you fall for the cracks of this broken heart


[Verse 3]

Oh, maybe that's just being kind

'Cause I'm drunk all alone and it's only nine

Excuse my heart for speaking its mind

I guess love ain't always blind

But I just noticed you didn't cry


[Chorus]

So, dear old flame, I don't stand a second chance

The third time, no, it ain't always the charm

I'm just here to say that it ain't your fault

That I let you fall for the cracks of this broken heart


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh


[Chorus]

Dear old flame, I don't stand a second chance

The third time, no, it ain't always the charm

I'm just here to say that it ain't your fault

That I let you fall for the cracks of this broken heart


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, maybe that's just being kind

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
