I imagine your presence is near
|
I open my eyes and see you're not there
|
I wish I could hold you and say we'll be ok
|
But it's gone too far
|
Remember the first day we met
|
I made you a promise you'd never regret
|
Now all that you are is all that I am
|
It's such a shame
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Well I've tried so many times
|
But I just can't understand
|
Before you go, let me know
|
Here I stand
|
|
Sometimes things aren't what they seem
|
We say things in anger we don't really mean
|
Act without thinking it's not really me
|
Deep inside...
|
Believe me ‘cause I never would
|
Do anything to try to hurt you
|
But I guess it means nothing you're going away
|
It's just too late
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well I've cried so many tears
|
And you need to understand
|
Before you go let me know
|
Here I stand
|
|
Arms open I know I've done wrong
|
Forgive me, don't leave me here alone (I'm all alone...)
|
Here I stand
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well I've tried so many times and you need to understand
|
Before you go, let me know
|
Before you go, let me know
|
Before you go, let me know
|
Here I stand...
|
