Hello love it's been way too long
Since I realized that you're the most important thing in my life
I've gotta the need to tell you I know that I was wrong
Show you how I feel and what's goin' on
I don't know what to say

Except I love that girl so much
But I didn't show it
Started spreading myself too thin
Fool around thought she didn't know it
Such childish games I played I fooled her with my touch
Time has taught me so much
I'm grown enough to say

I was too young but that's no excuse
I had too much too soon I wanted more room
To please my restless youth
Now all this peace
I can't feel your bliss
You treated me so kind, you were all mine
But I just walk away

That sweet smile and face 
Hangs heavy on my mind
Is there a way that you can turn back the hands

The more love that precious time I let slip by
I can't take much more of this
So I gotta try
To get you back and say

I was too young but that's no excuse
I had too much too soon I wanted more room
To please my restless youth
Now all this peace
I can't feel your bliss
You treated me so kind, you were all mine
And I just walk away

True love comes once in a lifetime
And if it's true then you'll be back in mine
