You promised something real
But it slipped out of reach
And now you return
Are you certain this is not a phase?

I look at you, but the vibe has changed
After all the hurt, after all that strength
You claimed your heart was tied to mine
Then you left, now you want another try

Did she hold your soul the way I could?
Did her presence feel enough?
Did your thoughts drift back to us
When everything turned tough?

I still recall those days, ooh
When your heart felt close to me, to me
You promised always, you wouldn't stray
You appear again
Should I walk away?

You tell me now it was all misplaced
That you miss what we had, that your chest feels laced
With things you held and things undone
But how do I trust after what you've spun?

Did she touch your heart the way I tried?
Did you picture my voice again?
Did you call for what we had
When you realized she couldn't end?

I still recall those days
When your heart felt close to me, to me
You promised always, you wouldn't stray
You appear again
Should I walk away?

Don't cover anything
Tell me what's real this time

I still recall those days, ooh
When your heart felt close to me, to me
If I choose you, do you stay
Or will you walk out on me another day?
Please, don't let me slide away again
