Please Stay

I’ve lost my heart to you
and there’s nothing I can do
but watch you walk away
and wish my heart would stay

and I know that I’ll be hurt
cause you make me feel like dirt
and you turn your back to me
so that you don’t have to see

me crying
I won’t be crying
me sighing
I won’t be lying

but the world is growing dim for me
and I don’t know how to begin to plead
for you to stay

please stay
don’t go away

for I’ve given my heart to you
and there’s nothing you can do
to return it back to me
it won’t come back
you see

and the world is growing dim tonight
but I don’t know how to begin
to make it right
for you to stay
