Look me in the eyes
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
I wrote this note to you
I can't say it, so just please read
It's so hard for you to understand
And for me to explain
I hope this clears the mess I made.

From the start I've said I loved you
And always would
But those promises have altered
I did the best I could
I know you're hurting
Your eyes they show me sure truth
And my heart, it hurts for you

And tell me
How can I live in peace
And live life happily?
How can I come to you
When life's a tragedy?

I know I made a promise like this one before
I realize things like these you just can't try to ignore
But you're all I have, and I've hurt you
The choice is yours
Just remember this one thing,

That when I said to you I loved you
That has never changed
I don't want to think that I'll lose you
Over one mistake
I hope you'll try find a place for me in your heart
A place where maybe I could stay

And tell me
How can I live in peace
And live life happily?
How can I come to you
When life's a tragedy?

Don't you walk on
Don't you walk away from me
Don't you walk on
Don't you walk away from me
Cause you're everything I ever need.
I have a need

And tell me
How can I live in peace
And live life happily?
How can I come to you
When life's a tragedy?
