Michael

Minding my business, you were minding yours too

Opposite sides of the world, but the universe knew

From New York down to South Carolina we aligned

You were my chosen, so patient and kind

A generous spirit that brought peace to my mind

My gentle giant, forgiving and strong

I’m laying this down 'cause something feels wrong

Michael, open your eyes before it's too late

Listen to me now before you alter our fate

'Cause I can't wait around while you drift out of view

You've been changing, it's a mistake, baby this isn't you

I love you so deeply, but you best take heed

Come back to the man that I desperately need

I reminisce on the moments I would walk up close

Without a single word spoken, you already knew the most

Automatically, you'd open up your arms so wide

Knew I needed a hug, gave me a safe place to hide

That understanding nature, baby where did it go?

The loving man I married is the one I wanna know

Don't lose that gentle heart, don't let it fade to gray

I'm fighting for my husband, don't throw us away

Michael, open your eyes before it's too late

Listen to me now before you alter our fate

'Cause I can't wait around while you drift out of view

You've been changing, it's a mistake, baby this isn't you

I love you so deeply, but you best take heed

Come back to the man that I desperately need

Yeah, listen before you miss it

Listen before the distance turns into a given

I can't wait forever, the clock is just spinning

You're making a mistake, but we could still be winning

Just give me back the giant, the gentle, the grace

Give me back the love that I saw in your face

So Michael, open your eyes before it's too late

Listen to me now before you alter our fate

'Cause I can't wait around while you drift out of view

You've been changing, it's a mistake, baby this isn't you

I love you so deeply, but you best take heed

Open your arms again, that's all that I need
