"Here With Me (20th Anniversary Edition)" lyrics - MICHELLE BRANCH

It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind, now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone, things will never be the same again
There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
You're such a part of me, but I just pulled away
Well, I'm not the same girl you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed

[Chorus:]
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud
When all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly just to be a part
Of something strong and true
But I was scared and left it all behind

[Chorus:]
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

[Post-Chorus:]
And I'm asking (Asking)
And I'm wanting you to come back to me, please

[Bridge:]
I never will forget the look upon your face
How you turned away and left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you
(Thank you, thank you)

[Chorus:]
I know you had to go away
(Oh, I know you had to go away)
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need (The one I need)
I believe that I
Would cry just a little (Cry just a little)
Just to have you back now, here with me
I know you had to go away
(Oh, I know you had to go away)
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
(You're the one I need)
I believe that I
Would cry just a little (Would cry just a little, baby)
Just to have you back now, here with me

[Outro:]
Here with me
Here with me
Here with me
