"Forgive & Forget" lyrics

It's funny how the nighttime
Brings to light the darkest side of me
And I've never found the right lines
I'm always sayin' things that I don't mean
And I know I never made time
It's only now that I've begun to see (whoa)

Well I was out there searching
What I'm lookin' for was right in front of me

It's always takin' time
To realize what I gave up
Cause it's so clear now what I couldn't see back then (oh yeah)

If I could take it back
If I could take it back
Oh, I'm sorry for the stupid things I said
If you could forgive me, babe, I won't forget
If I could take it back

I know you were my lifeline
But you don't know what you got till it's not there
And now I finally see that I said the things I did cause I was cared

Always taking time to realize what I gave up
Cause it's so clear now what I couldn't see back then, what I didn't know back then

If I could take it back
If I could take it back
Oh, I'm sorry for the stupid things I said
If you could give me, babe, I won't forget
If I could take it back (Take me back)
If I could take it back (I would take it back, yeah)
Oh I'm sorry for the stupid things I said
If you forgive me babe I won't forget (If you forgive me baby)

So if you take me back, you know I woulda never let you go 'cause baby I don't want to be alone

Oh if I could take back all I said
Me and you could start again
You know that I can't do this on my own

If I could take it back
If I could take it back
Oh I'm sorry for the stupid things I said
If you forgive me, babe, I won't forget
If I could take it back
If I could take it back
Oh I'm sorry for the stupid things I said
If you forgive me, babe I won't forget

If I could take it back
