Part II · The South Korea / U.S. Army Era (1997–1999)
Thinking of you and the love I feel
Makes me wish I owned a heart of steel,
Because when you were gone, clouds covered the sun
And I wondered if I was the only one.
I loved you so much I wanted to shout,
And get away from those shadows of doubt.
For you had always been mine, always been true,
Always believed that we’d see it through.
But I got lost in my hurt feelings—
My suspicions of your dirty dealings—
So now I want to apologize, to say,
To ask: my love, will you stay?
