Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been beat down, bloodied my knees
On this long hard road, crawling back to you
Didn't understand what I couldn't see
Til the nite you said we.... were through
[Chorus 1]
So I'm on my knees, begging you please
Help me close this hole in my heart
We can't let us end so close from our start
Now I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
[Verse 2]
Can't sleep, empty pillow next to my head
Walls closing in feels like no room in this king sized bed
I know you said what you said, did what you did
Right or Wrong, you said so long, farewell to me you bid
[Chorus 2]
So I'm on my knees, begging you please
Close the wound you opened in this heart
We shouldn't end so close from our start
Now I'm on my knees, baby I'm on my knees
[Chorus Out]
I'm on my knees, begging you please
Take me back in your arms
Let's clear away all that we've harmed
Honey I'm on my knees
[Outro]
Hmmmmmm....Now I'm back on one knee
Hmmmmmm.....I'm on..... one kneeee
Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh .....
