[Verse 1]
It was never gonna work out
I can see that you were meant for each other
I couldn't ever hear me say it out loud
You're better for her than I am
I guess I should have paid her more attention
I was never good between the lines
All she needed was my love and affection
It's too bad, now I ran out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
So take care of my love
[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
But whatever you do, don't let go of her hand
You cry sometimes
Add fuel to the fire
It could be so easy
Just never do what I did
Take care of my love
[Verse 2]
You were never one to scream it out
I should have noticed I was killing you softly
Now you look happier without a doubt
I can see that your hearts say forever
[Pre-Chorus]
So take care of my love
[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
But whatever you do, don't let go of her hand
You cry sometimes
Add fuel to the fire
It could be so easy
Just never do what I did
Please, take care of my love
[Bridge]
I'd take it all back if
Begging for forgiveness
Would somehow break these clouds
Make true all my promises
I've pushed it too far
You're better off where you are
[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
But whatever you do, don't let go of her hand
You cry sometimes
Add fuel to the fire
It could be so easy
Just never do what I did
[Outro]
(You live)
Now he's holding you every night (You cry)
Kissing your face every morning
Oh-oh, take care of my love
I used to be the shoulder you lean on (And you to the night)
Now he's the rock that you run to
Ooh-ooh, oh
Just take care of my love
