You said you never would
But you did, and I’m not surprised
I’ve had time to think it over
And maybe I’m too proud
Said it in a simple way
On my birthday
Remember that night?
I didn’t say anything
And now I wish I would have
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
I’d go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven’t been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself
He’s acting like I’m someone else
And I can’t stop seeing your face
These days I haven’t been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself
He’s acting like I’m someone else
And I can’t stop seeing your face
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
I’d go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this thing was a masterpiece
’Til you tore it all up
Running out of time
Running out of June
Running out of everything to say to you
Now you’re just sitting in your car
Outside my window
Trying to get me on the phone
And I’m just so mad at you
This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night
And I go back to December…
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
I’d go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I’d go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time…
