The Branch Lyrics

It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
I haven't truly examined myself in a while

I guess that I was blind
I was oblivious to what was going on inside me

Now my reflection's getting clearer
I am now focusing more on myself and what I really want

Now that you're gone things will never be the same again
Losing you has changed me permanently

There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
You were always on my mind

You're such a part of me
You were essential in my life

But I just pulled away
I let fear get the better of me and I pushed you away

Well, I'm not the same girl you used to know
I have changed and grown as a person

I wish I said the words I never showed
I regret not being honest with you

I know you had to go away
I understand why you left

I died just a little, and I feel it now
I am still hurting from losing you

You're the one I need
You were always the one for me

I believe that I would cry just a little
I miss you so much it hurts

Just to have you back now
I long to have you in my life again

Here with me
I want you here with me, now

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
Being alone feels very loud when all you can hear is your own thoughts and feelings

And I wanted so badly just to be a part of something strong and true
I wanted to feel like I belonged to something real and meaningful

But I was scared and left it all behind
I let fear hold me back and I abandoned what could have been

And I'm asking
I am pleading with you

And I'm wanting you to come back to me
I want you back in my life

Please?
I am begging you to come back to me

I never will forget that look upon your face
I will always remember how you looked when you left

How you turned away and left without a trace
You left me without a word

But I understand that you did what you had to do
I realize that you had your own reasons for leaving

And I thank you
I am grateful for what we had and what you taught me
