**Begin song**
[Intro]
*Guitar playing until 0:22*

[Verse 1]
We opened all the can of worms that one night on my floor
I don't regret it though, the faster that it poured
It wasn't what we intended
But oh, since when did this ever go as planned

[Verse 2]
We try hard to keep cerebral but our hearts bear their all
And then I see you in a way, I never could before you let go, of the fear I wouldn't like what I saw

[Pre-Chorus]
You said December seventh, wasn't what you had in mind
To try it all over, but we had a good cry
And decided, all we know is whatever is this is isn't letting us go

[Chorus]
I could have been, more patient
I could have been, more gentle
And I'm sorry for the times that I assumed you were my job
I could have utilized my humor
I could have smiled a little more
I could have sung you some James Taylor, both our fathers used to love
And I don't know the best way
And I don't know what you need
But I think I figured out it's not more pressure for me

And with my tail between my knees
I lay my pride at your feet
'Cause I could have loved you better, sweet Gabriel

[Outro]
*epic melancholy guitar from 2:35 to 3:41*
