[Intro]

"At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options"

Hey, uh- I know you probably don't wanna hear from me after uh-

It shouldn't have even happened, but I miss you and I just wanna talk

Call me back?


[Verse 1]

Picture frames make their way into my mind

Tear me apart

Letters saved from when I made your heart skip beats

Lay at my feet


[Verse 2]

But one fateful day, I threw them away

You begged mе to stay, face in disarray

And yet to this day, I think 'bout what may have been


[Chorus]

I see you with him, my hеart goes so dim

He’s got the same smile, your name’s on his skin

I know that he won’t hurt you

Hurt you like I did

Wish I could go back, back to what we had

If fate could just give me one second chance

I promise I won’t hurt you

Hurt you again, oh no

(I promise I won't hurt you again)


[Verse 4]

Riding the train downtown

Your corduroy button down

Shined in the light of LA sunrise

And to my surprise, you looked in my eyes

The parties with lights down low

Getting caught in the afterglow

Wasted away, our fall of Pompeii

Now my skies are grey while he's on display

I swear I'll be okay


[Chorus]

I see you with him, my heart goes so dim

He’s got the same smile, your name’s on his skin

I know that he won’t hurt you

Hurt you like I did

Wish I could go back, back to what we had

If fate could just give me one-second chance

I promise I won’t hurt you

Hurt you again, oh no
