Gary Allan Words You Can't Take Back
Lying in bed with your radio on
Alone and listening to our favourite song
There was a time when that song could make you smile
I’ve tried to sleep and I haven’t yet
Her tears still haunt me after what I said
Ain’t it funny how pride can block the sun
I said some things that I never should
I swore to you that I never would
Say words that you just can’t take back
Words like ‘forever’ and ‘I’ll never leave you’
Words like ‘I love you’ and ‘I’ll always be true’
‘You’ll never be lonely, I promise you that’
And these are the words that you just can’t take back
How can I say I’m sorry when words are not enough
This burning bridge is not too burnt to cross
I said some things that I never should
I swore to you that I never would
Say words that you just can’t take back
Words like ‘forever’ and ‘I’ll never leave you’
Words like ‘I love you’ and ‘I’ll always be true’
‘You’ll never be lonely’, I know I promised you that
And these are the words that you just can’t take back
These are the words that I’ll never take back
