I imagine your presence is near
I open my eyes and see youre not there
I wish I could hold you and say well be ok
But its gone too far
Remember the first day we met
I made you a promise youd never regret
Now all that you are is all that I am
Its such a shame

[Chorus]
Well Ive tried so many times
But I just cant understand
Before you go, let me know
Here I stand

Sometimes things arent what they seem
We say things in anger we dont really mean
Act without thinking its not really me
Deep inside...
Believe me cause I never would
Do anything to try to hurt you
But I guess it means nothing youre going away
Its just too late

[Chorus]

Well Ive cried so many tears
And you need to understand
Before you go let me know
Here I stand

Arms open I know Ive done wrong
Forgive me, dont leave me here alone (Im all alone...)
Here I stand

[Chorus]

Well Ive tried so many times and you need to understand
Before you go, let me know
Before you go, let me know
Before you go, let me know
Here I stand...
