And if you see him
Tell him i miss him
Tell him i feel so bad
For messing up what we had

And if you see him
Tell him i'm sorry
And i regret the day
I let him walk away

And i want to be by his side
And i need his love and pride
And i need him

And if you see him
Tell him i'm begging
I'll do a song and dance
Just for a second chance

And if you see him
Tell him just how i look
The circles underneath my eyes
The make up don't seem to hide

And i stay awake every night
And i pray that he just might walk in
And love me
Walk in and love me

I miss him more than he'll ever know
Tell him he was
My everything
He was more than just a flame
And i need him
I miss him

And if you see him
Tell him my fire
No, it's just won't burn
Till the day that he returns

And i want to be by his side
And i need his love and pride
And if you see him
Tell him i'm begging
