I must have left my house at eight, because I always do My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning papers going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch At half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my second cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At six I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening papers then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame The day before you came I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not a single episode of "House of Cards" that I have failed to see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest Margaret Atwood book or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and settled in for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came

Speeches won't be made today Clocks will carry on. Flowers won't be left in parks Work will still be done. People won't be dressed in black Babies will be born. No flags will fly, the sun will rise But we will know that you are gone. You who love to love and believed we can never give enough. It wakes me every single night thinking through the day Did you stop at any time Have doubts at any stage. Or were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done I've lived my life without regret until today And you who love to love And believed we can never give enough. I didn't get to say goodbye The day before the day Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away And missed the most important thing you ever tried to say I've lived my life without regret until today And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough. And you who hoped that underneath We all felt the same. That was until the day before the day, the day before the day The day before the day, oh the day before the day The day before the day, oh the day before the day Oh the day before the day, oh the day before the day.

I came up out of the water Raise my Hands up to the father Gave it all to him that day Felt a new wind kiss my face Walked away, Eyes wide open Could finally see where I was going Didn't matter where I been I'm not the same man I was then. I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, Now here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am Changed I got a lot of "hey I'm sorry" The things I've done man that was not me I wish I could take it all back I just want to tell em' that I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, Now here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am Changed I've changed for the better More Smiles, that's better I even started to forgive myself I hit my knee, I'm here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am, Here I am, Here I am Changed Yes I am I'm changed for the better.

I'd be ridin' in a cab goin' downtown Findin' faces I know in a big crowd Tryin' to drink the pain away, mhmm And I'd be stayin' out all night, never goin' home Girl you know I'd lose all control If I lost you There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe Without you There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby If only you would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot Oh yeah, oooh I'd be checkin' on my phone every minute Waitin' 'round for it to start ringin' And prayin' it would be you I don't know what I'd do There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe Without you There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby if only You would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot If I ever lost you If I ever lost you There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby if only You would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot If I ever lost you There would be, there would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it There would be a riot If I ever lost you
