shannon, don't you know i would have died for you
now there's no one left for me to die for
and i want you to know i believe i still want you back
'cause every day without you is like a heart attack

shannon, i know you don't want to talk to me
when you left, i sure as hell didn't make it easy
i should have left you alone so you could have maybe missed me
and had time to discover who you want to be

oh shannon, don't you know that i still feel the same as before
and i know i loved you wrong and i'm sorry
but i still need you here with me

shannon, i can't say i believe i did everything wrong
after all, i know that you loved me for so long
and every time i hurt you, i really hurt myself
and every tear that you cried spoke for me as well

everything about you drives me so crazy
i can't find perfection like you out on the street
and i wish i could exist in a world that did not hold you
rather than know that you're out there but not knowing what you do

oh shannon, don't you know that i still feel the same as before
and i know i loved you wrong and i'm sorry
but i still need you here with me
