Lyrics:
Clare Steffen & Colin Grant Adams
V1
I thought I'd give you a call
So, we could talk about it
I'm not sure we said it all
The truth can be hard to admit
V2
We can learn from our mistakes
With a fresh start tomorrow
We'd save a lot of heartaches
And a face lined with sorrow
Chorus
You know that I'm not perfect
No matter how hard I try
But I will always love you
And the last time that I checked
You looked me straight in the eye
And you promised you'd be true
Yes, you said you would be true
Broken promises, now will have to do
V3
Maybe that was just a tale
You told me to throw me off track
But now all my words just fail
I hope we will find our way back
V4
You know that time we cannot lose
The precious memories and stories told
And arguments we would sit and defuse
And promised each other the world
Chorus
You know that I am not perfect
No matter how hard I try
But I will always love you
And the last time that I checked
You looked me straight in the eye
And promised you would be true
You said you would be true
Broken promises, now will have do
Outro
Well, if you made a mistake
I will try to forgive you
And once more for old times’ sake
There's no limit to what love can do
(or if this sings better)
It's amazing what love can do
