Come Back To Me
I know you had to leave me
I know you had to go
But all my days without you
Are ticking by so slow
I miss what you did to me
And the way you made me feel
I know the difference from dream and reality
But none of this seems real
I lay alone in my bed at night
Wanting you by my side
Knowing in my heart you can't be
There are so many tears I haven't yet cried
I should have listened to the signs
I should have put up a fight
But now I just lay here
And hold my pillow tight
I know I shouldn't be selfish
But please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
And set my heart free
I'm not completely alone
But I'm still so afraid
And I know I can't change this
No matter how hard I've prayed
But I know this isn't fair
Because here you can't stay
Neither of us know what lies ahead
And I hate how they took you away
There's nothing I can do
I know I must move on
But if you ever need me
I'll wake up with the dawn
Only three things we'll ever need to know:
To my heart you held the key
I truly loved you
And you truly loved me.
