Shane:
I didn't mean to let you down
You have to believe me
I don't know what went through my mind
But now I can see
That I waited too long
To tell you how much it matters
(Just to be right here with you)
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should've told you so
Chorus (all):
Baby open your heart
Won't you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understnad
If you open your heart
To love me once again
Bryan:
I'll try to make it up to you
I want you to know
(You have to know)
Baby I swear that I'll be true
And never let go
If waited too long
To tell you how much it matters
(Just to be right here with you)
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should've told you so
Chorus (all):
Baby open your heart
Won't you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understnad
(Make you understand)
If you open your heart
To love me once again
Mark (all):
We could releive this pain and sorrow
(But we better do it in time)
Start over here and save tomorrow
I wanna make you mine
I waited too long

But I couldn't think of anything better
I should've told you so
Chorus (Shane):
Open your heart with a chance
Open your heart and I'll be here forever
(Forever)
Open your heart and I'll care
And I will make you understand
Ooh babe
