Looking through my old drawer Came across the letter you wrote Said you needed time away That was so long ago All my life I've waited To see your smile again In my mind I hated Not able to let go Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me I want you to Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me Lord knows that I have tried To live my life as one Friends tell me to hold on Tough times don't last for long My abandoned heart Just doesn't understand My undying love for you Won't let me wait Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me I want you to Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me I want you to Come back to me (come back to me) Come back I want you to Come back to me Come back Please come back to me I miss you so much Wherever you are I love you All my life I've waited To see your smile again In my mind I hated Not able to let go Not able to let go Hooh, huh, I won't let you go No no no
