Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've got a hand-me-down heart Filled with second hand love It's been weighing me down So I'm selling it off At a discounted rate That nobody wants to pay And all that I am Still belongs to you Take a look at me darling I don't want something new If I gave all I had Would it have made you stay? Would it have made you stay? Would it have made you stay? I'd send myself broke Just to buy back the time If the change in my pockets Could change your mind I'd send myself broke But I don't really mind I'm doing it all, I'm doing it all Just so we can rewind Oh, to when you were mine I carry first hand hurt In the back of my mind 'Cause you loved me so fast That I got left behind I still watch the clock But I know I'm just too late I know I'm just too late I know I'm just too late I'd send myself broke Just to buy back the time If the change in my pockets Could change your mind I'd send myself broke But I don't really mind I'm doing it all, I'm doing it all Just so we can rewind Oh, to when you were mine I'd send myself broke Just to buy back the time If the change in my pockets Could change your mind I'd send myself broke But I don't really mind I'm doing it all, I'm doing it all I'd send myself broke Just to buy back the time If the change in my pockets Could change your mind I'd send myself broke But I don't really mind I'm doing it all, I'm doing it all Just so we can rewind Oh, to when you were mine
