Lyrics Hum, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum Hum-dum, dum, hum-dum, dum He was never gonna make it Every pill he found, he'd take it Always on the edge of breakdowns Keepin' it together somehow Just another cold November You called me, but I didn't answer I was so oblivious, now, I'm askin' for forgiveness For every single time I failed you I'm feelin' like it's me that killed you Rememberin' the time they jumped you And I was too scared to help you Looking back, I can't erase it I guess it's time to face it You never seemed to know how to let it all go Don't listen to a single word they say about you They don't know you like I do Don't listen to a single word they say about you They don't know you like I do Everybody saw you smilin' That you were always good at hiding You were always asking questions, so you wouldn't draw attention Everyone who used you, they never really knew you You're always showin' up for everybody but yourself (Everybody but yourself) See, I wish I could take it back Change the future and erase the past Grab the bullet out and pull you back I promise that I'd save your life like you saved mine But now, it's far too late for that And all I have is your story left to tell So, let me tell it, let me tell Don't listen to a single word they say about you They don't know you like I do Don't listen to a single word they say about you They don't know you like I do Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
