Knock knock, I bang the door
My lover opens, and I fall to the floor
With my tears, I wipe my lover’s feet
This is my song, I write on the sheet
Things used to be so good
Until I got stupid and walked away
My lover was walking hand in hand with me
But I got lost and ran away
I don’t know what I was looking for
I had it all with my lover
I said some nasty things when I left
I left my lover in pain as I took an exit
Out there I had no dignity
Because my royalty only works when I am in love
So I am back, back to my lover
Back where I belong
The prodigal lover that I am
My lover lifts me up, I tremble
Will I be accepted back?
Or I’m I too late?
My lover looks me in the eye
I go on and on about how sorry I am
My lover shuts my chatter box lips
“Shh… I forgive you” I am told
I silence my lover
Tell my lover to please listen
I shouldn’t come and act like nothing happened
An apology must be said, an apology must be heard
“May I speak now?” my lover asks
After my minutes of remorse
“I love you, thank you for caring about my feelings
Welcome back. I kept my heart for you”
