Just Before Love Ends

[Intro]
I've done wrong, and now I must pay
Soon love will come to take love away

[Chorus]
But just before love ends
I think of how it might have been
The things I could have done, oh yeah
To make the stay be a happy one for me

[Verse 1]
My phone starts to ring (Hear my phone ringing)
And I answer the call (Hello, my darling)
Then a voice tells me (Telling me)
"You hurt me, 'cause you did wrong
I'll be there soon
What I must say won't take long"
She hangs up and my heart begins to pound (Begin to pound)
'Causе I'm gonna lose the one truе love I found (Love I found)

[Chorus]
And just before love ends
I think of how it might have been
How different things might be, mmm
If I had known how much she meant to me

[Verse 2]
As the clock strikes four (Sooner become [?])
I start to hurt much more (Take love away)
'Cause soon I know she'll be (She'll be)
Standing in front of me
She'll ask me why
And then she'll say goodbye
Now I hear the sound of someone at my door (At my door)
And I listen as the footsteps cross the floor (Cross the floor)

[Chorus]
And just before love ends
I think about what could have been
But time's run out for me, mmhmm
I want to change, but it's much too late for me

[Bridge]
Now I know
I could have made her so happy
But instead I only brought her tears
And the price I'll pay
For one wrong day
Will be many lonely years
(Many, many, many, many lonely years)

[Verse 3]
As she walks straight up to me
I see sadness in her eyes
She starts to speak, but then she cries
"It's so hard to say goodbye"
Now, I await the pain I soon will feel (I will feel)
A hurt that even time might never heal (Might never heal)

[Chorus]
But just before love ends, oh lawd
I think about what might have been
'Cause soon love will be gone
No second chance for the man who has done wrong

Just, just before love ends
Yeah, I think of how it might have been
