I miss the the time when
I knew you were here for me
I know that you trusted me
If I'd ask you to stay
Would you wanna stay
Would you wanna stay
Would you wanna stay
Do you miss me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
Do you want me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
I know
I pushed you away
But I was scared
I miss the time when
Things were easier
Easier
If I'd ask you to stay
Would you wanna stay
Would you wanna stay
Would you wanna stay
Tonight
Do you miss me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
Do you want me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
I know
I let you down
I let you down
I got lost
I got scared
I regret it now
If I'd ask you to stay
Would you wanna stay
Tonight
Do you miss me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
Do you want me like I do
'Cause baby you know
You know, you know
I wanna wake up by your side
By your side, by your side
