Back to Me
Randy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I woke up again this morning
With thoughts of you in my head
It still brings a tear to my eyes
When I see this empty bed
I think about what we used to be
It's driving me insane
The pain that it's caused, the feelings of loss
Chorus
I've tried to be strong
I've tried to move on
But it breaks my heart to let you go
So I'll keep holding on even though I know that loving you
Won't bring you back to me
2nd Verse
We made a good life together
The kids look just like you
It's been so hard since you've been gone,
I don't know how I've made it through
I think of all the times that we made love
And the passion in your eyes
The pain left inside, the tears that I've cried
Is the only way I know I'm alive
Chorus
I've tried to be strong
I've tried to move on
But it breaks my heart to let you go
So I'll keep holding on even though I know that loving you
Won't bring you back to me
Bridge
No one should know the pain of a goodbye
When the one you love is ripped out of your life
It leaves you feeling cold and all alone.
Without you here beside me baby, this house just aint a home
Chorus
I've tried to be strong
I've tried to move on
But it breaks my heart to let you go
So I'll keep holding on even though I know that loving you
Won't bring you back to me
