Don't Go

i love you but i just cant face
i cant tell you in this quiet place
my heart beats faster every time you look at me
and i try so hard to be all i can be

my knees buckle and i fall to the floor
i just cant watch you walk out the door
the tears sting as they slip so slowly,
like the blade of a knife, and i'm feeling so lonely

i want you to know how hard I try
i want to tell you but i know that i'll cry
my head starts pounding and nothing can i hear
it's you leaving soon that is my only fear

my hands start shaking and the more tears begin
im begging you to stay away from sin
to hold on for you but also for me
there's so much more i want you to see

late at night when im alone,
i hope that you will pick up the phone
when i eagerly dial my heart changes coarse
it pulls me back, this evil force

my neck gets tense and i can only pray
whispering these thoughts, these dreams that you'll stay
but will you leave me alone to fight
through all we've been through it doesn't seem right

times have changed, that we can't doubt
maybe if you tried harder we'd know more about
what we could've been, i guess we'll never know
im still begging you to stay, so please...
don't go
