I hope you know
I swear, I've never done this before
And I care, I'm so sorry
Scarred you for life
Please come back to me
Down on my knees
Repeating apologies

Why do I deny the heart that's grown colder
Too quick to criticize the lullaby
Why do I deny the heart that's grown colder
Too quick to criticize

Sweet serenity, (I wish you sweet serenity!)
Sweet serenity, (Sweet serenity!)

Back on the mistakes I've made
Please come home to me, I'll show you truth
I'm all for you, I'll hold your hand
Ease your mind, yeah we'll be okay
Repeating apologies

Why do I deny....

Stay here with me, let what I am
Let it speak more, more than words
They can't compete with
It's always been you and me
Why do I deny the heart that's grown colder
Too quick to criticize the lullaby
Why do I deny the heart that's grown colder
Too quick to criticize

Sweet serenity, (I wish you sweet serenity!)
Sweet serenity, (Sweet serenity!)

I hope you know, I hope you know
I've never done this before
Done this before, and I
I hope you know
I hope you know
Baby you're not alone
You're not alone
(You've ruined me!)

I hope you know
I swear I've never done this before
And I care, I bet you're sorry you've lied to my face
All these words that I say are the words
That I wanted to hear from you to me
