Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I've been afraid, I've been away too long
Every city whispering your name
Won't ask you to wait, but darling, when I get home
I'm hoping that you might still feel the same
[Chorus]
If you go, I think I'd understand
It's not that easy holding my hand
But you should know that I miss you all the time
And I wish that I could tell you that we'll be alright
But I can't be where you are tonight
[Verse 2]
I only dream beautiful things about you
So waking up always seems to hurt
And I hate goodbyes, but I will try to make them work
If you choose to break my heart when I return
[Chorus]
If you go, I think I'd understand
It's not that easy holding my hand
But you should know that I miss you all the time
And I wish that I could tell you that we'll be alright
But I can't be where you are tonight
[Bridge]
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
I can't be where you are
[Chorus]
If you go, I think I'd understand
It's not that easy holding my hand
But you should know that I'll miss you all the time
And I wish that I could tell you, but I can't be where you are
