I look back now

I remember the days
I remember my prayers
Empty promises I made
And how they made me glad
Words of comfort that I gave
Seeking something that I'll have

I look back now
And I see the pain
I turn around
And I see my lies
I look at you
And I see the light

I remember your words
I remember your heart
Now that we're apart
My heart needs never to part
How I wish for a new day
That I might live things I say

I look back now
Feeling so deprived
I turn around
Hoping to see you
I look at you
And I see you leaving

Loving you was all I knew
Loving you was all I need
I threw it all away
Knowing I never want to let go
The thought kills me when I'm alone no
I threw it all away

I look back now
Missing the moments
I turn around
Wishing to hold you
I look at you
And I see you're gone
