I let you down so many times but, you always seemed to return to my side. I pushed you away and brought a world filled, of heartache and frustration to your life. I was always so self-centered and conceited, always thinking that you would be there for me. I took your love for granted everyday, and spent your money like it was my own. I never thought that I would come home today, and find a note from you saying you were gone. Knowing that you're never coming back, has opened up my eyes and made me see. What a terrible person I was to you, and that I never once thanked you for all that you did. I know that it's much too late and I want you to know, that I'm not asking you to come back to me. I didn't deserve you then and I know, that I don't deserve you now. I always thought that I would be alright, and now that I'm on my own I feel the pain. I never told you how much I loved you, or how much I appreciated you. I was always too proud to and now that I'm looking back, I never knew until now how much I need you here.

Never Knew I Needed You
I let you down so many times but, you always seemed to return to my side. I pushed you away and brought a world filled, of heartache and frustration to your life. I was always so self-centered and conceited, always thinking that you would be there for me. I took your love for granted everyday, and spent your money like it was my own. I never thought that I would come home today, and find a note from you saying you were gone. Knowing that you're never coming back, has opened up my eyes and made me see. What a terrible person I was to you, and that I never once thanked you for all that you did. I know that it's much too late and I want you to know, that I'm not asking you to come back to me. I didn't deserve you then and I know, that I don't deserve you now. I always thought that I would be alright, and now that I'm on my own I feel the pain. I never told you how much I loved you, or how much I appreciated you. I was always too proud to and now that I'm looking back, I never knew until now how much I need you here.
