1 
I see you everyday, 
And remember what they would say 
I remember the way it used to be  
And I wonder why I threw it all away 
Away-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
I see you have someone new 
So small he fits in your shoes 
I know I shouldn't be that mean 
But I can't help it anyway 
Anyway-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
2. 
Baby we should only see 
If you come back to me 
I know I don't deserve it but I  
Can't help but think that way 
Think that way-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
Life can be so cruel, 
It often treats you like a tool 
I've said I'm sorry but there  
Doesn't seem more I can say 
I can say-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
3 
Baby I still love you 
And I hope you love me too 
If you don't I would understand 
And that would be okay 
Okay-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
Baby we should only see 
If you come back to me 
I know I don't deserve it  
But I still love you since that first day 
That first day-ye-yeah (2x) 
 
Refrain 
Cant believe I threw it all away 
It's something that I've had to live 
From day-to-day 
If you would only give me another chance, 
I would treat  you like a princess from the first glance 
 
I've been in love with you since that first day
