It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror

I guess that I was blind, now my reflection's getting clearer

Now that you're gone things will never be the same again

There's not a minute that goes by, every hour of every day

You're such a part of me but I just pulled away

Well I'm not the same girl you used to know

I wish I said the words I never showed

I know you had to go away

I died just a little

And I feel that now you're the one I need

I believe that I

Would cry just a little

Just to have you back now, here with me

Here with me

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart

And I wanted so badly just to be a part

Of something strong and true but I was scared and left it all behind

I know you had to go away

I died just a little

And I feel that now you're the one I need

I believe that I

Would cry just a little

Just to have you back now, here with me

Here with me

And I'm asking

And I'm wanting you to come back to me please

I never will forget the look upon your face

How you turned away and left without a trace

But I understand that you did what you had to do

And I thank you

(thank you, thank you)

I know you had to go away

I died just a little

And I feel that now you're the one I need

I believe that I

Would cry just a little

Just to have you back now, here with me

I know you had to go away

I died just a little

And I feel that now you're the one I need

I believe that I

Would cry just a little

Just to have you back now, here with me

Here with me

Here with me
