"Before You Left" lyrics

I tried to stop you but you're already gone
If I could catch you and tell you I was wrong
Maybe my whole world wouldn't fall apart
Maybe you'd open up your broken heart

What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left

I didn't always love you the best that I knew how
That's the thing about the quiet, I can hear you now
I didn't know how much a heart could take
Till I watched you walk away

What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left

What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left
