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
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
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
here i stand
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.
