Here i stand

I imagine your presence is near
I open my eyes and see you're not there
I wish I could hold you and say we'll be ok
But it's gone too far
Remember the first day we met
I made you a promise you'd never regret
Now all that you are is all that I am
It's such a shame

[Chorus]
Well I've tried so many times
But I just can't understand
Before you go, let me know
Here I stand

Sometimes things aren't what they seem
We say things in anger we don't really mean
Act without thinking it's not really me
Deep inside...
Believe me 'cause I never would
Do anything to try to hurt you
But I guess it means nothing you're going away
It's just too late

[Chorus]

Well I've cried so many tears
And you need to understand
Before you go let me know
Here I stand

Arms open I know I've done wrong
Forgive me, don't leave me here alone (I'm all alone...)
Here I stand

[Chorus]

Well I've tried so many times and you need to understand
Before you go, let me know
Before you go, let me know
Before you go, let me know
Here I stand...
