(Verse 1)
I missed the train to Boston
Now I'm left in the cold
I never wanted this to end
And now you’ve got a new boyfriend
He says he'll love you better
Than I will ever do
And will you say you love him too?
Oh!

(Chorus)
Can't make up for past mistakes
But you know I'm gonna keep on trying
The world used to be ours to take
Can't you see that now
I'm dyin'

(Verse 2)
Another broken promise
Left you an empty hole
I thought I’d be with you forever
Can't stand living on my own
Such a minor set back
A “never” is all it took
You think he's Mr. Perfect
Can’t you take another look?
(Chorus)
Can't make up for past mistakes
But you know I'm gonna keep on trying
The world used to be ours to take
Can't you see that now
I'm dyin'

(Bridge)
I’ve come to grips with it
You're never coming back
All those chances taken
Never thinking it would ever come to that
You moved on to better things
And all the misery it brings
But me, I only want the best for you
For you!

(Chorus)
Can't make up for past mistakes
But you know I'm gonna keep on trying
The world used to be ours to take
Can't you see that now
I'm dyin'
