Stay

~

I watch you go, and the tears start to fall,
and I wonder, did you ever care?
Did I really mean anything, anything at all?
'cause when you look at me, it's like I'm not there.

I'm letting you go
but I want you to know

When you're gone, the colors seem to fade away
and all I'm left with is this empty gray space
At the back of my mind
I'm still wondering why
I bother to wait when you've left me no reason to stay.

You don't look back as you start to walk away
and my heart's breaking all over again.
Don't know what I can do to convince you to stay
to try and make myself believe it's not the end.

I don't want you to go
but you need to know

When you're gone, the colors seem to fade away
and all I'm left with is this empty gray space
At the back of my mind
I'm still wondering why
I bother to wait when you've left me no reason to stay.

I know I've made my mistakes
but you need to take some of the blame
That choice was yours to make
and you chose the path to take
but is there anything, anything I can do
to make you stay?

'Cause when you're gone, the colors seem to fade away
and all I'm left with is this endless gray space
At the back of my mind
I'm still wondering why
I keep making the same mistakes
Why do I bother to wait
when you've left me no reason to stay?

When you're gone the colors seem to fade away
and my life ends up an endless gray space
At the back of my mind
I'm still wondering why
I keep making the same mistakes
I guess I can't help but wait
though you've left me no reason to stay.
'Cause when you're gone, the colors all just fade away.
