we were so close
i nearly held you
i nearly knew you as my own
i was so wrong
thinkin' i'd leave you; thinkin' you left me
i was so scared
thinking of days when
you took the time and came away
and you're so wrong
when you think you'd leave me
i would leave you

tell me how to reach you
'cause every day i breathe alone
when you're not beside me
baby tell me where you are
'cause i'm so sick of waiting
and i'm so tired of being alone
when you're not beside me
when you're not beside me
everyday

you were so young
i didn't represent
i nearly held you
you were so scared
thinkin' i'd love you
thinkin' i'd leave you
we were so close
i nearly held you
i nearly held you as my own
everyday
you came and left me
you came and left me

tell me how to reach you
when every day i breathe alone
when you're not beside me
baby tell me where you are
'cause i'm so sick of waiting
and i'm so tired of being alone
when you're not beside me
when you're not beside me
everyday

everyday
everyday

tell me how to reach you
every day i feel alone
when you're not beside me
baby tell me where you are
'cause i'm so sick of waiting
and i'm so tired of being alone
when you're not beside me
when you're not beside me

i breathe alone
when you're not beside me
when you're not beside me
