Well he was Thailand based She was an airforce wife He used to fly weekends It was the easy life But then it turned around And he began to change She didn't wonder then She didn't think it strange But then he got a call He had to leave that night He couldn't say too much But it would be alright He didn't need to pack They'd meet the next night He had a job to do Flying to Cambodia And as the nights passed by She tried to trace the past The way he used to look The way he used to laugh I guess she'll never know What got inside his soul She couldn't make it out Just couldn't take it all He had the saddest eyes The girl had ever seen He used to cry some nights As though he lived a dream And as she held him close He used to search her face As if she knew the truth Lost inside Cambodia But then a call came through They said he'd soon be home She had to pack a case And they would make a rendez-vous But now a year has passed And not a single word And all the love she knew Has disappeared out in the haze Cambodia, don't cry now, no tears now And now the years have passed With not a single word But there is only one thing left I know for sure She won't see his face again

Tell her you've thought about what happened Tell her you haven't slept at night Tell her although you made a huge mistake You want to make it right Tell her you know you aren't perfect Tell her you've waited way too long Tell her you're sorry, tell her you mean it Tell her you just were wrong Tell her she shouldn't have ignored you Or dissed you in front of all the school Tell her the minute she got out of touch You felt like such a fool Tell her that studying together Was so nice, you prayed it wouldn't end Say you forgive her, say you were jealous Ask if she'll be your friend Evan & Patrice: Tell her that people get things wrong Cause people are afraid they wont fit in your world or in your life But things will work out fine if she will only listen Tell her that all you ever wanted Tell her that all you ever wanted Was maybe Evan & Patrice: A smile or a glance Tell her your sorry Tell her you mean it Evan & Patrice: Ask for another chance Tell her you just want another chance
