I'm not the first to make you cry

I always promise baby this is the last time

You believe in second chances and I love you for that

But I'm on number ninety-nine and you won't take me back



And I can't say I'm sorry

And I can't swear to God I'm gonna change

And I could tell you I will heal the wounds that cut you down

But you've got scars

And I've got scars

Love goes only so far no matter who you are



I had the chance to change your images of trust

Each time you tried before you got tangled up

I couldn't ease the pain of the hurt you'd had before

But I've got history of my own I only hurt you more



And I can't say I'm sorry

And I can't swear to God I'm gonna change

And I could tell you I will heal the wounds that cut you down

But you've got scars

And I've got scars

Love goes only so far no matter who you are



Oh, our past makes up our present

We never really get a brand new start

So you can take your heart and run

But it's gonna leave a mark



And I can't say I'm sorry

And I can't swear to God I'm gonna change

And I could tell you I will heal the wounds that cut you down

But you've got scars

And I've got scars

Love goes only so far no matter who you are
