Pacing back and forth again
I tremble waiting for her to arrive
Ecstatic and erratic
All alone she's come to say goodbye
She shuffles towards the door
And I hear voices screaming back for more
Decisive, uninvited
And I'm being forced to face
That I can't take the pain of being alone again
Come save me
And once you left me all alone my heart grew cold
But I don't know
And I'll do just about anything that you'd ask me to do
Yeah you'd ask me to do
The sun is in your eyes
Don't ever shut it out again
And words cut deep
The scars will fade again
And I'll never give you up
I'll never try it out again
Don't wanna say goodbye
I wanna be around again
The words she spoke echo back and forth
Cracks what I used to call a soul
Confusion and elusion
I felt this pain as I tried to let her go
Like a hammer crashing down
With the weight of a broken heart
Can't bear to continue on
I pour my strength and I will
Stand out in the rain outside your home again
Please save me
I lost my love so long ago, my heart is dead and cold
But I don't know
You said I was infatuated but I know I love you
Yeah, I know I love you
The sun is in your eyes
Don't ever shut it out again
And words cut deep
The scars will fade again
And I'll never give you up
I'll never try it out again
Don't wanna say goodbye
I wanna be around again
I always thought that I would wanna see your face
At times I wanna die
And now my heart is torn apart
You're gone, I lied, and now I'm asking why-y-y
The sun is in your eyes
Don't ever shut it out again
And words cut deep
The scars will fade again
And I'll never give you up
I'll never try it out again
Don't wanna say goodbye
I wanna be around again
(And I'll never give you up)
I'll never try it out again
Don't wanna say goodbye
I wanna be around again
I wanna be around again, yeah
Oo yeah
Yeah
