Lyrics
Please Come Back (I?m Sorry Now I Know)
2/26/03
1st verse:
You used to call me
Told me things; melt my heart away
And every smile and word that came from you
[I] Feel you were made for me
Our paths crossed as if destiny
Why did I let you go; slip away from me
Chorus:
Your arms were my fortress
Your words were my shield
[I was blind] blind to see how good it was
[What we shared] the joy you had brought to us
Now my heart cries out for you.
Please come back. Your sorry, Lonely girl.
2nd verse:
Now I see who you are.
Embracing nights under the stars.
[I] took you for granted; then walked away.
I know I neglected you.
What you did you'd hope I see.
I should have let you know how much you meant to me.
-Chorus-
Bridge: (end of chorus)
I?m sorry now?
I know that you were right to leave.
Wonder if you?d still run from me.
What I know now.
I need you back.
I'm still your girl and you?re my man.
[I'm still your man and you?re my girl.]
-chorus-
-Repeat last line-
