I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day

We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately

So here I am
And can you please tell me, oh

I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know
