I never actually got to let her hear this song. she told me once that guys have written songs bout her in the past and she thought it was just a way that they thought they could win her over or impress her. so i never mentioned it to her. I just saw her recently at sweet eugenes...with her boyfriend. she looked as cute as ever (3-1-05).
i know this is not goodbye
but i have to be patient and try
to forget what i expect
believe you'll not reject
I trust you know whats good
and to do what you know you should
i want to give you time to heal
i cant imagine what you feel
CHORUS:
i'll leave the light on for you
to keep the memories fresh and new
i'll leave the light on for you
so you have a safe place to return to
as your thinking about the past
i'm hoping this will not last
i'm pray you can move on
right now i'm letting you be gone
i'm hoping you can someday
let those feelings fade
I'm hoping i can be there when
you open your heart again
[chorus]
come back to me
come back to me
callousness is taking its toll
i cant guarantee that i'll be home
when you make up your mind to come around
i dont want you to come running to me
when you cant find what you need
when nothing else can be found
[chorus]
come back to me
come back to me
i know the timing is not right
i just keep thinking bout that night
you seemed so open to my words
you made me feel like i was heard
you stop me from trying justify
all these reasons why
you're understanding who i am
right now i need to talk to you again
[chorus]
come back to me
come back to me
