Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Slipped away like grains of sand
Couldn't hold you long enough in my hands
Can't remember how it went from good to bad
Now I just reminisce, I just reminisce on everything we had

[Pre-Chorus]
The times you used to call me "Baby"
Driving in your old Mercedes
That feels like a distant memory now

[Chorus]
If I had one chance to tell you how I loved you
I'd be down on my knees
If I had one moment
Just to let you know what you meant to me

[Post-Chorus]
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen

[Verse 2]
I never meant for it to end this way (End this way)
I wish that I could say this face to face (Face to face)
Holding on for hope your mind would change (Mind would change)
'Cause I want you back (Want you back)
I need you back to take this pain away (Take this pain away)

[Pre-Chorus]
The times you used to call me "Baby"
Driving in your old Mercedes
That feels like a distant memory now

[Chorus]
If I had one chance to tell you how I loved you
I'd be down on my knees
If I had one moment
Just to let you know what you meant to me

[Post-Chorus]
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen

[Bridge]
My only request, I wish you the best
But I can't get no sleep, I can't get no rest
My head is a mess, between "No" and "Yes"
Right now you're heavy on my mind
I don't wanna guess what you're thinking tonight
I want the facts, I don't want no more lies
I just want a chance to make it right
I just want a chance to make it right
[Chorus]
If I had one chance to tell you how I loved you
I'd be down on my knees
If I had one moment
Just to let you know what you meant to me

[Post-Chorus]
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen
I'm begging for forgiveness
If only you would listen
