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...
