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
