Tonight it's New Year's Eve and I'm home without you.
You're three days and eight states away.
It wasn't 'til nearly five minutes after the fact that I could bring myself
to face the truth.
I should've said here when you there.
I should've said leave when you said stay
'cause nobody else
has ever made me feel as safe in their arms as you do, baby.
Nobody else.

Baby, I'm waiting on you to come on home to me.
I should've known better than to hurt you like that.
It wasn't 'til nearly five hours after the fact
that I knew just what to say
to put your faith back in me.
I've said I'm sorry a thousand times.
I swear, I'll be better than good this time
'cause nobody else
could ever take the place of you, my love.
Nobody else.
Nobody else.

It seems like yesterday that I first saw you.
I should've known then you'd be my last.
But it wasn't 'til nearly five years after the fact
that I could bring myself
to face the truth.
I thought I had lost my mind that night.
I wanted to leave her for you--
oh I tried
'cause nobody else
has ever come close to making me feel the way I feel when I'm with you.
