People wonder why I don't talk or why I don't sleep.
The reason is because you're not here with me.
You were my heart,
You were my life.
My rock,
My anchor,
My angel.

I know I let you down
I know I wasn't there,
But it's because I didn't want to see,
I didn't want to believe...

I didn't want to see my world slipping away from me.
I didn't want to see you so weak,
I didn't want to see how I abandoned you...

I lived in denial,
I lived in fear,
But deep down I knew I'd wake up one day,
And you wouldn't be here.
I'll never forgive myself and I'll never forget,
But please come back to me...
