It seems like I’m getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I’ve finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
‘Cause I do need it

And give me a year or two
And I’ll mend my ways
And see these mistakes
And when I see the truth
Well dar-lin’, trust me
When I can’t see
I’ll be coming back
I’ll be coming back to you

(Repeat Chorus 2)
