Lyrics
Chase down my love
Chase down my dreams
Chase away those silent prayers
That bring me to my knees
Pull me to you
Don't push me away
Hold me in the darkest night
And brighten up my day
So long
So long
So long
It's never easy
So long
So long
So long
Why won't you see me?
Can't lose you in the crowd
That fills my very mind
My vacant stare. Do you really care
About the sadness that I find?
Are these feelings real
That come to me at night?
My pillow's stained with a thousand tears
My bed's cold on one side
So long
So long
So long
It's never easy
So long
So long
So long
Why can't you free me?
So long
So long
So long
It's never easy
So long
So long
So long
Do you believe me?
So long
So long
So long
Why don't you need me?
So long
So long
So long
Since you left me.
