Please forgive me for what never was
For what never became the truth
Please forgive me for all the pain
For all that I have done to fuck this up
For I can still see those brown eyes on an innocent child
Even though the eyes may appear the same. They are long gone, far away
Yesterday upon the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away
Please forgive me for the choices that I've made
I never thought they could affect us this way
I can still feel that child inside, trying to break free
But there is no way out, you can never leave
Yesterday upon the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away
It is just like a shadow from a distant past
Captured in time where everything was divine
I would give everything to give you your life back
But 20 years have past, 20 years of pain
Last night I saw upon the stairs, a little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he would have stayed
