I imagine your presence is near
I open my eyes and see you’re not there
I wish I could hold you and say we’ll be ok
But it’s gone too far
Remember the first day we met
I made you a promise you’d never regret
Now all that you are is all that I am
It’s such a shame

(Chorus:)
Well I’ve tried so many times
But I just can’t understand
Before you go, let me know
Here I stand

Sometimes things aren’t what they seem
We say things in anger we don’t really mean
Act without thinking it’s not really me
Deep inside...
Believe me ‘cause I never would
Do anything to try to hurt you
But I guess it means nothing you’re going away
It’s just too late

(chorus)

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

Arms open I know I’ve done wrong
Forgive me, don’t leave me here alone (I’m all alone...)
Here I stand

(chorus)

Well I’ve 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...
