lyrics

[Verse}
Won't you stay with me, for just a little while.
There's nothing in this world that compares to the pain I feel.
We could do almost anything or just lie here doing nothing, doing nothing at all.

[Chorus]
But you insist on leaving me behind and you swear you'll be back again, this time next week or next month, soon next year, than never again, you'll be gone and I'll be stuck waiting all alone again.

[Verse]
I can't stand when your gone, nothing seems as real.
A dream upon waking, sights so surreal.
There's planes and trains and busses that take me from here to the city.
I wish that you could see what is happening all around me.
(Please stand by my side!)

[Chorus]

[Verse]
Sometimes I wonder why
I spend these sleepless nights
thinking everything is alright,
when they're not.
Thoughts pacing back and forth in my mind through these sleepless nights

(Chorus)
(I'll be waiting for you until,
Until you get back from these long severed, these long severed years.)

[Outro]
But you insist on leaving me behind and I'll be stuck waiting.
