I know that I
might make you try
to find the words to describe
what causes you pain.
I’ve been away,
but I’m coming back again.
Maybe I let
myself forget
who holds me when I’m a wreck.
I guess this will be
my apology:
I’m coming back for you.
Don’t let me lie,
try as I might.
Don’t let me off the hook.
Hold standards high;
I won’t deny
that I’ve been known to hurt you before.
Words that I say,
although they may
be difficult to hear,
carry some trust
just between us.
I’m coming back for you.
I’ve been making fleeting
promises
never worth keeping.
Softly, sweetly,
while I’m sleeping,
I dream that I’m coming back for you.
I’m begging you to
let me love you.
Please don’t you slide
out of my life.
I’m coming back for you.
