Here With Me

(michelle branch, john shanks)

It's been a long, long time since i looked into the mirror
I guess that i was blind
Now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone things will never be the same again

There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But i just pulled away
Well, i'm not the same girl
You used to know
I wish i said the words i never showed

I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and i feel it now
You're the one i need
I believe that i would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
And i wanted so badly just to be a part of something strong and true
But i was scared and left it all behind

I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and i feel it now
You're the one i need
I believe that i would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me

And i'm asking
And i'm wanting you to come back to me
Please?

I never will forget that look upon
Your face
How you turned away and left
Without a trace
But i understand that you did what you had to do
And i thank you

I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and i feel it now
You're the one i need
I believe that i would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
