Im so glad you made time to see me
Hows life, tell me, hows your family
I havent seen them in a while
Youve been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying Im sorry for that night
And Id go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine
Id go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days I havent been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didnt call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying Im sorry for that night
And Id go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine
Id go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again I swear Id love you right
Id go back in time and change it, but I cant
So if the chain is on your door, I understand...
And then he said, Its too late to apologize
Its too late...
He said, Its too late to apologize
Its too late...
So this is me swallowing my pride 
Standing in front of you, saying Im sorry for that night 
And I go back to December 
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you 
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine 
Oh...
He said youre not sorry 
Youre not sorry 
Youre not sorry 
Youre not sorry
