lyrics
let me start let me start by saying i’m sorry
let me start by saying i loved you the most
more than the last girl
more than the last but i confess
more than the last
but probably not as much as the next
so let me start let me start by saying i missed you
let me lie and say i’ll never go again
and i’ll pretend
and you’ll pretend i really mean it
and you’ll stay by me
just because you can
it seems so easy
to say you need me
when it’s the loneliness
that we can’t stand
so let me start let me start by saying i’m sorry
let me start by saying i never was the one
it isn’t so bad it isn’t as bad as you’ve made it
imagination makes things bigger than they are
so let me start.
