Lucy Spraggan - As The Saying Goes lyrics

You stood and cleared your throat
Then every word you spoke
Seemed to fall out of your
Mouth, hit the ground, and explode
Something about the truth and that
You wanted me to know
I was working all the time and
How you hadn't been alone
You said that you were sorry
How it had been hell
It hadn't been at home 'cause
You'd been in a hotel
You turned your phone towards me and
I felt my world melt
'Cause I was looking at this picture
Of you and someone else
Cliché, clichéd, I know
But it's hard to give up hope
And as the saying goes

It's better late than never


There's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking
If you love 'em, set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what
Will be will be i just know that I miss you
And none of it helps please come back to me

I walked through my front door to my
Car and drove straight to the bar
Sat down and looked at the
Scars across my arms
It all came flooding back
Like I'd been sitting in the dark
How quickly I forgot that I had come so far
'Cause you were more than this
Said I'd never do it again
'Cause you said it hurt to see
Me do it to myself
But that's all gone now and
You're not here to help
Because you gave up on me
Just like everybody else
I wish that I'd been better
The person that you needed
I'm so much better than
Sitting here and bleeding
I'm not gonna let this get
Worse and take hold
I made a promise to myself
And I'll make it home and as the saying goes

It's better late than never
There's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking
If you love 'em, set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what
Will be will be i just know that I miss you
And none of it helps please come back to me

They all say I'll be fine
You'll barely cross my mind
Just give it time, oh, time
They all say I'll survive
You'll barely cross my mind
Just give it time, oh, time

It's better late than never
There's pride before a fall
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all
Hearts were built for breaking
If you love 'em, set them free
Time's the greatest healer and what
Will be will be i just know that I miss you
And none of it helps please come back to me
