She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek
She left for Chicago before we got a chance to speak
I'm left here to carry on alone
Twenty-four seven spent here waiting by the phone
I'm lost again
This makes no sense
Just like that she walked away
Running from mistakes I made
All I ask of her
Please grant me a second chance
This time I will make it last
Just don't run away
Run away
She's patient at the best of times
Always first to call the shots, first to draw the line
But when I told her what I'd done
Everything just fell apart she felt forced to run
I'm lost again
This makes no sense
Just like that she walked away
Running from mistakes I made
All I ask of her
Please grant me a second chance
This time I will make it last
Just don't run away
If I could hold your hand right now
You know I would
If I could talk to you right now
You know I would
Please write to me and let me know
How things are treating you
I promise to right back
And let you know how bad I feel
