Bring Back the Guy I Met That Day

Every tear I ever cried, was if we were not okay
And sorry love I promise to try is all you needed to say
I promise that I won’t hurt you again, was all I wanted to hear
And only those few words coming from you, would wipe away each fear

I didn't give up on us
I just reached the point where things got too much
You said “let’s work things out, I’ll do anything you say”
I’m saying now go on your way 
And find the guy I met that day

I had to step away, so you can find yourself
To let you form a clearer picture of your life
I know you love me and yes this is hard
Find what you need and see if I'm that missing part

I don’t like who you became
Though my heart still shouts your name
Go out there on your way
And find the guy I met that day

You can fight at winning back my trust
Be the guy with whom I fell in love
I had to do it and it broke my heart
Of which you form the biggest part

But now is not the time for this
You need to go and find yourself first
You got so lost along the way
And let go of the guy I met that day

I couldn't float in your bubble no more
I couldn't hang on a string completely torn
I couldn't fight alone no more
And I know I needed to close this door
‘Cause all the wind that was coming through
Completely tore my heart in two

I can’t be with you while you are so lost
This is your time to fight for us
So get on your way
And bring back the guy I met that day
