Here With Me

*by: Michelle Branch

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 you 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

and i'm asking
and i'm wanting
you to come back to me
please?

i will never 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
