[Lyric] I.O.U. (Best Case Scenario)

[Verse 1]
A life lived without pain
Means a life lived without these lessons learned
And I wish that I could take back how I treated you
But it’s too late
An apology will have to do
I’m sorry, sorry for everything that I put you through
I hate myself for letting go of you
It’s the one mistake I wish I never made

{Chorus]
I can’t do anything now to keep you off my mind
(I need somebody else)
I think back on the way that I handled everything
And it makes me sick!
But I hope that he makes you happy
On second thought
I hope he slips up and he makes that same mistake that I made
I’m holding on til’ I see this through
I hope that you cash in my I.O.U
[Verse 2]
I’m drowning, drowning in this mess I made
But I know that I will be strong
And I will move along
Pretending everything’s okay
And hope that we could try again someday

[Verse 3]
Take me back! I’ll make it up to you, I swear!
Take me back! I’ll make it up to
(you) mean everything to me
I see it now and I can blame myself
But you should have put your foot down
Never let me walk out

[Chorus]
I can’t do anything now to keep you off my mind
(I need somebody else)
I think back on the way that I handled everything
And it makes me sick!
But I hope that he makes you happy
On second thought
I hope he slips up and he makes that same mistake that I made
I’m holding on til’ I see this through
I hope that you cash in my I.O.U
