Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say, from each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay

And after all that you've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise you
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to kept away
Not for a day, from your body
(baby, I can't live without you, not even day)
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say, I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise you
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go
