That’s when I said I’ll need
More than you can offer me
I miss your face
As you can tell
I hope my absence makes you well

‘Cuz what I didn’t know
Is I was killing you
I said a lot of things
That I didn’t mean to
But I am older now
And I am sorry too
So I can wait a while
If it brings me back to you

Well I am shy
But I never speak a word
And you are numb
From all the things you never heard

That’s when I said I’ll need
More than you can offer me
And now I hold
An empty space
But I can’t fill it with your face

‘Cuz what I didn’t know
Is I was killing you
I said a lot of things
That I didn’t mean to
But I am older now
And I believe in you
So I can wait a while
If it brings me back to you

That’s when I said I’ll need
More than you can offer me
I miss your face
As you can tell
I hope my absence makes you well

‘Cuz what I didn’t know
Is I was killing you
I said a lot of things
That I didn’t mean to
But I am older now
And I believe in you
So I can wait a while
If it brings me back to you
