i'm so glad you made time to see me
how's life? tell me
how's your family?
i haven't seen them in a while
you've been good
busier than ever
we small talk
work and the weather
your guard is up
and i know why
because the last time you saw me
is still burned in the back of your mind
you gave me roses
and i left them there to die
so this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you
saying i'm sorry for that night
and i go back to december all the time
it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
wishing i'd realized what i had when you were mine
i go back to december
turn around and make it alright
i go back to december all the time
these days
i haven't been sleeping
staying up
playing back myself leaving
when your birthday passed
and i didn't call
then i think about summer
all the beautiful times
i watched you laughing from the passenger side
and realized i loved you in the fall
and then the cold came
the dark days
when fear crept into my mind
you gave me all your love
and all i gave you was goodbye
so this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you
saying i'm sorry for that night
and i go back to december all the time
it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
wishing i'd realized what i had when you were mine
i go back to december
turn around and change my own mind
i go back to december all the time
i miss your tan skin
your sweet smile
so good to me
so right
and how you held me in your arms that september night
the first time you ever saw me cry
maybe this is wishful thinking
probably mindless dreaming
but if we loved again
i swear i'd love you right
i'd go back in time and change it
but i can't
so if the chain is on your door
i understand
and then he said it's too late to apologize
it's too late
he said it's too late to apologize
it's too late
and i said
this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you
saying i'm sorry for that night
and i go back to december all the time
it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
wishing i'd realized what i had when you were mine
he said you're not sorry
no
no
no
you're not sorry
no
no
no
you're not sorry
no
no
no
you're not sorry
no
no
no
