The Heart I Let You Take
by Ruben

My hourglass is out of sand,
time just slipped right through my hand,
my knees are weak, now I can't stand,
I'm drowning with no sight of land,
all I need is in your eyes,
but you told me your last good-byes,
said you'd had it with my lies,
you saw right through my used disguise,

Well here I am, I'm on my knees,
begging you, I beg you please,
just look now into my eyes,
and say that you do realize,
that leaving me was a big mistake,
bring back the heart I let you take,

And here I go again, drifting far away,
hurting deep within, because you wouldn't stay,
I'm telling you the truth, all these words I say,
I'd do anything to prove, my love to you today,
so give me one good reason, that you won't believe,
that in this new season, there is a new me,
I'm giving you a promise, I would never leave,
I'm telling you I'm honest, but you still don't see,

Well here I am, I'm on my knees,
begging you, I beg you please,
just look now into my eyes,
and say that you do realize,
that leaving me was a big mistake,
bring back the heart I let you take,

I'm breaking down, my heart is breaking,
the love I gave to you, you are forsaking,
but still my heart you're taking,
and my knees, they won't stop shaking,

Well here I am, I'm on my knees,
begging you, I beg you please,
just look now into my eyes,
and say that you do realize,
that leaving me was a big mistake,
bring back the heart I let you take,

Now my hourglass is out of sand,
time just slipped right through my hand...
