It's been way too long
Since I've taken the time
To just sit with you
And say what's been on my mind
I thought I got too busy
And life got too intense
But I can feel it killing me
And I'm done with sitting on the fence
I guess that's why I'm here today
Cuz I want to see your face again
And dearly, oh so dearly do I
Want things back the way they've been
I remember how you used to be
The most important part of me
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I ran away, but I didn't forget
How it felt to be yours; safe
And how everything fit
I don't know why I started trying again
To fill myself with other things
Your face growing dim
But there's nothing I regret
More that all of that time
That I spent all alone when
You could have been mine
And there's nothing I could ever do
To make all of that up to you
But I don't need to
I don't need to
Now I am home
And you have called me Forgiven
And as long as you stay near to me
I'll never want to run away again
Cuz I searched the whole world
From the highest mountain to the sea
But I never found anyone, anything
That compares with your beauty
And I tried every pleasure
That riches could buy
But not one thing, nor all things
Could completely satisfy
For nothing compares with
The glory of your face
And after all of my wandering
I've finally found a resting place
