d-side - here i stand lyrics

i imagine your presence is near
i open my eyes and see you re not there
i wish i could hold you and say we ll be ok
but it s gone too far
remember the first day we met
i made you a promise you d never regret
now all that you are is all that i am
it s such a shame

[chorus]
well i ve tried so many times
but i just can t understand
before you go, let me know
here i stand

sometimes things aren t what they seem
we say things in anger we don t really mean
act without thinking it s not really me
deep inside...
believe me cause i never would
do anything to try to hurt you
but i guess it means nothing you re going away
it s just too late

[chorus]

well i ve cried so many tears
and you need to understand
before you go let me know
here i stand

arms open i know i ve done wrong
forgive me, don t leave me here alone (i m all alone...)
here i stand

[chorus]

well i ve tried so many times and you need to understand
before you go, let me know
before you go, let me know
before you go, let me know
here i stand...
