[Verse 1]
Another day, another mess
Full of empty promises
That I'm not sure I'm ever gonna keep
I hate to call you up again
You pretend you understand
And I pretend I don't know what it means

[Chorus]
Oh honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you another time

[Verse 2]
Oh, there's gonna be a place in time
Where I can finally make things right
Just wish that I could tell you where and when
But until then, I swear you'll see
The best half man that I can be
So lie to me and say you understand

[Chorus]
Honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you another time
[Bridge]
It won't be all for nothing
I got my eyes on the price
No, it won't always be like this

[Chorus]
Honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you
Yeah, I know I'll make it up to you
Oh, I swear I'll make it up to you another time
