Denise -

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
