Please Stay

so many situations
i left to fade away
never giving light a chance to grow
so many times i traded
for the safe and easy play
when the real thing on the way
was so close
i am left to wonder
as the days are falling down
is this dream i'm waiting for
gonna be around

when i say
please stay
i really didn't mean it
when i said i'd walk away
so i say
please stay
if i could change the world
i would say
please stay

so many times i need you
but i know you're gone for good
your fault or my fault i don't know
when i had the chance
i didn't say what i meant to say
guess i couldn't find a way
beyond almost
i am cold and worried
as the years are running down
inside i am screaming
but i never make a sound

when i say
please stay
i really didn't mean it
when i said i'd walk away
so i say
please stay
if i could change the world
i would say
please stay
