I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar. Been gone so many days, I'm losing count. When I think of home, I see your face. I know I have to wait [Chorus] So close, yet so far It's tearing me apart What I would do to be there with you So close yet so far It's tearing me apart What I would do to be back with you I miss hearing your laughter And all the little things Forgotten what it's like to hold you Cause where I am right now so unforgiving It's numbing everything [Chorus] So promise No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you You'll wait for me. I Promise No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you Just wait and see I miss being at home I miss your face Don't think I can wait [Chorus] I promise, It's tearing me apart No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you I promise Its tearing me apart What I would do, What I would do, What I would do to be there with you
