[Verse]


 I'm so glad y

ou made time t

o see me

 How's life, t

ell me how's y

our family
             
 I haven't see

             
n them in a wh


ile

 You've been g

ood, busier th

an ever

 We small talk

, work and the

 weather
             
 Your guard is

              
 up and I know

  
 why


[Pre-Chorus]

            
 Because the l

      
ast time you s

aw me
             
Is still burne

              
d in the back 

        
of your mind
            
You gave me ro

             
ses and I left

              
 them there to

 
 die


[Chorus]

   
So this is me 

swallowing my 

pride
            
Standing in fr

              
ont of you say

              
ing I'm sorry 

          
for that night
             
And I go back 

            
to December al

l the time
    
It turns out f

reedom ain't n

othing but mis

sing you
            
Wishing I'd re

              
alized what I 

         
had when you w

ere mine
             
I go back to D

[Verse]


 These days I 

haven't been s

leeping

Staying up pla

ying back myse

lf leaving
             
 When your bir

              
thday passed a

             
nd I didn't ca


ll
       
Then I think a

bout summer, a

ll the beautif

ul times
  
I watched you 

laughing from 

the passenger 

side
             
And realized I

              
 loved you in 

      
the fall


[Pre-Chorus]

            
 And then the 

          
cold came, the

 dark days
             
When fear crep

          
t into my mind
            
You gave me al

              
l your love An

             
d all I gave y

      
ou was goodbye


[Chorus]

   
So this is me 

swallowing my 

pride
            
Standing in fr

              
ont of you say

              
ing I'm sorry 

          
for that night
             
And I go back

l the time
   
It turns out f

reedom ain't n

othing but mis

[Bridge]

            
I miss your ta

r sweet smile
             
So good to me,

And how you he

              
ld me in your 

             
arms that Sept

      
ember night
              
The first time

me cry


 Maybe this is

 wishful think

ing

 Probably mind

less dreaming
             
 But if we lov

So if the chai
