I’ve known it from the very start
We’re a shot in the darkest dark
Oh no, oh no
I’m unarmed
The waiting is a sadness
Fading into madness
Oh no, oh no
It won’t stop
I’m standing on a tightrope alone
I hold my breath a bit longer
Halfway out of the door but it won’t close
I’m holding out hope for you to
Say “don’t go”
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
Why’d you have to lean me on?
Why’d you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding
Why’d you whisper in the dark
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming
Say “don’t go”
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
Now I’m pacing on shaky ground
Strike a match, then you blow it out
Oh no, oh no
It’s not fair
Cause you kiss me and it stops time
And I’m yours, but you’re not mine
Oh no, oh no
You’re not there
I’m standing on the sidewalk alone
I wait for you to drive by
I’m trying to see the cards that you won’t show
I’m about to fold unless you
Say “don’t go”
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
Why’d you have to lean me on?
Why’d you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding
Why’d whisper in the dark
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming
Say “don’t go”
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
Why’d you have to make me want you?
Why’d you have to give me nothing back?
Why’d you have to make me love you?
I said “I love you”
You said nothing back
Why’d you have to lean me on?
Why’d you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding
Why’d whisper in the dark
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming
Say “don’t go”
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
But you won’t
But you won’t
But you won’t
I would stay forever if you
Say “don’t go”
But you won’t
But you won’t
But you won’t
