It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind, now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone things will never be the same again

There's not a minute that goes by, every hour of every day

You're such a part of me but I just pulled away
Well I'm not the same girl you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly just to be a part
Of something strong and true but I was scared and left it all behind

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me please

I never will forget the look upon your face
How you turned away and left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you
(thank you, thank you)

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me
Here with me
