But I'm not finished 'cause you're not by my side

And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, carrying your shoes
Fm D Bm C#m A
Decided that once again I was just dreaming of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning
C#m A Fm
And I'm trying to change your mind

Left you multiple missed calls

Incapable of making alright decisons and having bad ideas
