I know that yesterday is gone and it won't come back to me
But I miss it after all
It never lasted quite as long as I let myself believe
There'll be twists and turns to pull at us, and tear into our seams
But I make up what I broke down, if I can 'cause I miss you

It takes someone you love to alter the ending
Even as they watch you fall apart
Well, I was really lost – sinking and descending
I wasn't even there to break your heart

And now I'm waiting on the sun to clear away the haze
'Cause I can't see where I've gone
From where I started, where I strayed and where I'm meant to be
There'll be ash and dust to bury us, but I will keep you clean
And I'll be there, like I should be in the end

It takes someone you love to alter the ending
Even as they watch you fall apart
And I was really lost – sinking and descending
I wasn't even there to break your heart

And if the chance was mine, I'd take back every time
That I ever pulled away
It takes someone you love to alter the ending
Even as they watch you fall apart
Well, I was really lost – sinking and descending
I wasn't even there to break your heart
And if you'd take me back to what I almost had and the awful mess I made
If second chances count, then I give every ounce and I never pull away
