Return
Always -12- J.Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ll be waiting here with open arms
I'll be hoping that you won't be long
Trying to find yourself
Every time you told me you need space
Kept taking us further away
From all the memories
So please return to me
Please return to me
Hopeless days become
Nights that feel like weeks
Oh, return to me
Please return to me
Don't let mistakes become
All that's left of me
You told me that I'm all you need
When I watched you fall asleep
Now we both sleep alone
I need action, no more empty words
No matter how much it hurts
I need honesty, oh honesty
Please return to me
Please return to me
Hopeless days become
Nights that feel like weeks
Oh, return to me
Please return to me
Don't let mistakes become
All that's left of me
When you're feeling like there's no one there
And the darkness just keeps creeping in
You can lean on me
I know that you've been hurt before
I don't want you to feel that anymore
Can we just start again
Oh start again
Please return to me
Please return to me
Hopeless days become
Nights that feel like weeks
Oh, return to me
Please return to me




Don't let mistakes become
All that's left of me
