When you left you really let me down
I can't rise, though I've tried, I'm still waiting around,
I remember how it used to be,
I've tried, and I've tried but I can't understand.
Just the way you called out my name
Wasn't the same, it felt like a different game
And the way you called out my name....

After time has slipped away,
You may find that I'm still on your mind,
We'll have gone our separate ways
Much to far to turn around,

You'll remember all the things we went through,
Following me, following you for all time,
And you'll remember I still feel the same,
It's such a shame ....

I'll tell you something that you ought to know
If you're leaving home today,
You're turning your back on something so strong,
But I hope you find your way.

I'll tell you something that you ought to know
If you're leaving me today,
You're turning your back on a love that's so strong
That you might not find your way

I'll tell you something that you gotta know
If you're leaving me today
Don't turn your back on me,
'Cause I can't go on,
And I'll never find my way.
