Is there truth becoming away from me?
I fear the flames consuming
Could it be I abandoned your side?
When all required was a word
Dear you, dear you

How could I leave, how could I try
To hide from you what burns inside?
The change I've lived, the love that cried
The part of me that died that night

Well, you could be the undoing of me
I can sleep, awake at the thought of you knowing
Something showing truth amidst the lies
Disguise and compromise and I scream
'Dear you, dear you'

How could I leave, how could I try
To hide from you what burns inside?
The change I've lived, the love that cried
The part of me that died that night

Could you see how much that you mean to me?
I'm sorry, I let you slip away
From all that you could be
Why didn't I say, dear you, dear you?

How could I leave, how could I try
To hide from you what burns inside?
The change I've lived, the love that cried
The part of me that died that night

This debt I can't repay
Your memory won't fade
It haunts me everyday
How I walked away
