there's a sadness hung on me
weighed down like a stone
of the time that I ran off
and left you alone
now, I lay awake breathin'
with heavy a sigh
for I left you with nothing
not even goodbye

took me years to awaken to what I was missing
now I can't sleep, for the pain is so dear
my nerves are all shot
my body is shakin'
memory only haunts me of when you were near

just kills me to think of all that I wasted
didn't then feel the love, but now feel the lack
can't look in the mirror
for all I see is fear
no matter how I try, the past can't come back
