I've been away

I know I’ve been away from you for some time now

I want to apologise, but I just don’t know how

I’d try to explain myself, but would you even care

It’s the way you might react that I just can’t bare

I know I can’t keep saying that life isn’t fair

 

I’d like to say I’ll never leave again, but it’s a promise I just can’t keep

The way you’re looking at me now cut pretty deep

Would you believe me if I told you, I saw you every night  I went to sleep

I know leaving was a mistake, but it’s one I might just repeat

The silence between us is making my heart weep

 

I know you though that I’ve moved on from you

I'll admit that I thought that you must have moved on too

But moving on for you is the one thing I can promise that I’ll never do

Please tell me that you’d be able to make that promise too

Please let’s start over and make something new

 

I can’t say how long I will stay for this time

But whatever time we have is yours and mine

Don’t turn your back on me, our destiny is wrapped up in twine

What we share is sweeter than aged wine

Take my hand, and I promise that everything will be just fine

 

I know I’ve been away for far too long

But there's no way what we have could be gone

If you’re telling be that, then you’re wrong

I believe what we have is just too strong

 You and I both know that this relationship is lifelong
