Home time, I'm getting ready for a long night
They say you never miss it 'til it's gone
Well you're gone and I wish I'd done it better
Mostly I miss having you close to me
The only one who really ever knows me
And I'm sorry, I promise I'll do better, better
There's a hole in the middle of my heart again
Can we start again, can we start again
There's a hole in the middle and it never mends
It never mends, can we start again

Some nights, I kid myself I treated you right
Lying to myself, I didn't know
If I'm honest, I could have done it better
You said we had it pretty much perfect
And then you told me that you loved me
But you're sorry, you needed something better, better
There's a hole in the middle of my heart again
Can we start again, can we start again
There's a hole in the middle and it never mends
It never mends, can we start again

So I guess I'm gonna let you go
But you get to keep a little bit of my soul
So I guess I'm gonna write you out
But I don't think I can do it to me right now

Let's pretend that time heals all
There's a hole in the middle of my heart again
But I'm not afraid to start again

To start again, gonna start again

There's a hole in the middle and it never mends
It never mends
But I've gotta try to start again
