Don't wanna meet you tonight

When I see you baby

It gets me down so bad

I think about you all day
Constantly thinking about the person throughout the day.
And everything that we had

I can't forget you baby

But God knows I have tried
Despite efforts, unable to erase memories of the person.
So please go easy on me

And stay away tonight

Could've sworn that I heard your voice

On my car stereo

You said nothing statys the same

We all keep moving on

But I'd give it all
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything for a chance to go back in time.
I'd give it all
