Icon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ever since you went away
It's hard to go on
And it's getting harder every day
I think of all the things that I've done wrong
I'll never understand what took so long
To see what you were feeling
But I still can't let you go
I can remember
When you used to stand by me
And people would tell you
That we were never meant to be
I can take the words that they can say
For just another chance to make you stay
And have you believe me
That the feeling's still the same
'Cause I've seen that look in your eyes
And I'll get it back again
I feel the tears when you cry
Broken hearts were made to mend
I get a strength from inside
When I look into your eyes
I think about the things that I've done wrong
I'll never understand what took so long
To see what she was feeling
What she's feeling
I still can't let her go
I've made mistakes throughout my life
And I just can't take them back
Given the chance I would think twice
Going to let her know
I've seen that look in your eyes
And I'll get it back again
I feel the tears when you cry
Broken hearts were made to mend
I get a strength from inside
When I look into your eyes
I've seen that look in your eyes
And I'll get it back again
I feel the tears when you cry
Broken hearts were made to mend
I get a strength from inside
When I look into your eyes, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Baby, come back
Baby, come back to me, mmm...
She's coming home to me, yeah
