Denise by The Sea Within Lyrics

Denise, have I told you I won't be back?
Denise, have I told you I won't be back?
'Cause I'm stuck here in my silent self
A cold and lonely place
Denise, how I miss you
But I'm here to stay

In the forest by the mountains
Close by the creek
Life was so easy
We played Hide & Seek
And I gave you my word that day
Forever I would stay
Denise, if I told you I lied that day...?

Denise, have they told you what I've become?
Denise, have they told you the things I've done?
Remember when we played that day
Please remember me that way
Denise, please forgive me - I won't be back
Won't be back...
I am what I've done
But still I'm so much more
My love, please remember
Who I was before
I wasn't born in that moment

That separated us
I was someone by that river
And I'm still who I was
I don't ask to be forgiven
I know I'm losing you Denise
But please remember that river
Where we played Hide & Seek

I don't ask to be forgiven
I know I'm losing you Denise
I guess we're still playing by that river
If you hide, I understand... I won't seek
