I'm contemplating begging and imploring 
to give this relationship another try...
to a girl who left me. 
Still have feelings, 
but you know the relationship is over, 
it's a done deal. 

Still wanting to be with her but the feeling has not returned. 
She's cold now. 
But... still wanting her by my side. 
Her thoughts, her voice, her touch I miss. 
Can't we just go back to the days when everything was in place!?

It ain't the same, 
the history is too long and painful 
to go back to the heart shakening days, 
that brought smiles on your face. 

Too many make ups and break ups. 

I would give everything to turn back the time. 
So painful to not be able to have the one. 

Too many 'sorrys' that were said so weightless, 
too many apologies that weren't forgiven, 
too many excuses that weren't taken. 

It's a known fact that 
the grass is always greener on the other side. 
And to realize it now, too late, 
so often it tears me up inside. 

Why didn't I see it clearly when it was right in front of me. 
Blinded by other actions, confused and scared of it all.  

Wanting to be a part of your life 
and not just looking at it from a distance. 
Wanting things to be different. 

I put your love up on a shelf and left it to die. 
And now that you've left me, I feel so empty. 
Like you took a part of me with you when you said good-bye. 

Life is a prison when your in love alone.
