Please wake up
When you wake up all alone
Ask yourself where you call home
Who you've become now that you're grown
Love was here all along
Love you shouldn't take light
I can’t believe the blatant way
You showed me day by day by day
How little you care in some cruel way
While you mean everything to me.
I may have acted strange to you
I understand you had to choose
What you thought you had to do
Emotions can be all askew
People aren't perfect, even you.
You won't admit you may be wrong
I will dream forever long
You tore the man I was in two
Drowning in my skin to prove
Id be the best i knew for two
To give my love to only you
It was always you.
So when you wake at night and cry
Remember just exactly why
Wish you'd gave another try
Wish you'd had heard me cry
And not have been the reason why
I'm sorry, I'll stay true
Cant believe todays the day
I stood here and you walked on out
I swore I'd put up a hearty fight
For the one love of my life
I'm sorry, I did try.
You may have acted strange as well
Your silence puts me through this hell
Dont know what to do or who to tell
When all I want is you
I'll wait for you, for you to choose
The love i kept, I keep for you
I'm sorry but it's true.
You see a mistake don't you
When you wake up with regret
For all the words you never said
And wish they just reached me
Wish you hadn't left the blame
Apologies that never came
I love you more than I can name
Still you locked the door on me
It didn’t have to end you see
It should've been forever
Our forever and always.
You act like im a stranger
Nothing quite kills me more
When you came asking change
Then you pulled yourself away
To walk right out the door
Not look back at all
Don't expect an easy choice
Said you made up your mind
After all this time
All that time.
One day when I wake up grey
No longer can ignore the pain
Regret I had no chance to say
Regret hurting you, I couldn't hate
I prayed to God to let you stay
I'll be dying here inside
I'll die
If only I'd had the time you'd see
One more chance to be, to keep
The love who was my wife to be
The one love of my life
So don't go acting cold now love
If you love me move post haste
Grab your heart in hand
Hand it to this broken man
Before it's too late
While you still can
You are to me so beautiful
My forever and always.
