Her face, when you were looking for a while 
 With not a trace that we're underneath the weather 
 And I tried to let go 
 And she slipped away 
 Like a little girl 
 But I really wanna make her mine 
    My girl would never say 
 What I need to hear 
 To make it all okay 
 So we try to make nice so the kids won't know 
 For a little while, but it really doesn't make it out   
 Find you alone a while 
 With a heavy hand and a dark-lit smile 
 Let her find time to regret 
 What I still don't know 
 And I really want to make her mine   
 She wants to know just who I am 
 She wants to know just who I am 
 She can make you work for the worth she has 
 She wants to know just who I am   
 I'm guessing that it happens all of the time 
 Through no fault of mine 
 She can turn it around 
 And she wasn't like the best thing under the sun 
 But yeah, I guess I needed to learn from her 
 I guess I needed to open up and let it all out   
 Your face when it all came down 
 With a bright light was a little dark frown 
 I was unturned by the sharp alarm 
 And you weren't afraid 
 But it really doesn't matter   
 I tried you and forced a smile 
 And we were like friends for an unset while 
 And I might've let go maybe one of those nights you stayed a while 
 And still I wanna make her mine   
 She wants to know just who I am 
 She wants to know just who I am 
 She can make you work for the worth that she has 
 She wants to know just who I am   
 I'm guessing that it happens all of the time 
 Through no fault of mine 
 She can turn it around 
 And she wasn't like the best thing under the sun 
 But yeah, I guess I needed to learn from her 
 I guess I needed to open up and let it all out   
 She wasn't like the best thing under the sun 
 But, yeah, I guess I needed to learn from her 
 I guess I needed to open up and let it all out
