[Verse 1]
I sent her some flowers, but way too late
All she felt were the thorns in that sweet bouquet
I couldn't make a difference, in the difference I made
She used to hold me till I let go
I would have held her longer if I'd only known
What I took for granted she'd take to another man
Oh, no

[Chorus]
And I can see clearly now all my mistakes
Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face
She's found someone new who'll give more than take
Oh, she's holding the difference I didn't make

[Verse 2]
What she sees in him could have been me, if I took the time to give her all she needs
A change of heart, a new attitude, and everything he did that I didn't do

[Chorus]
And I can see clearly now all my mistakes
Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face
She's found someone new, who'll give more than take
Oh, she's holding the difference, I didn't make

[Bridge]
Next time if there's a next time
I'll make the time to make her see
The last time was the last time
She won't see the difference in me
Oh, no
[Chorus]
Oh, I can see clearly now all my mistakes
Through the pain of this heartache and the love on her face
She's found someone new, who'll give more than take
Oh, she's holding the difference
Yes, she's holding the difference
Oh, she's holding the difference
I didn't make
