Stay

if you see me now 
please know that its not real 
cause this stupid heart of mines 
always like to show how i feel 

the tears you see on my face 
its raindrops from the sky 
so dont think i,m missing you 
and i break down and cry 

and if you see me alone 
weeping under a willow tree 
don't think i,m grieving for you 
i,m just writing some sad poetry 

but if you could see in my heart 
you will know what i,m going through 
and you will know the torture it is 
trying to live with out you 

a little drink of water 
can save a million lives 
and all i want is you 
in my life to survive 

i begged you "please don't go 
" please dont walk away 
please i begged you just turn around 
just turn around and stay 

but you didn't look back 
you kept your looking straight ahead 
and you stepped on my heart 
like it was made of lead 

so if you do see me 
lost and wondering today 
don,t think i,m going crazy for you 
i'm just rehearsing for apart on broadway 

you know i don't smoke cigarettes 
so if you see one in my hands 
please dont think since you left 
my lifes fading away like the sands 

but you can see in my soul 
you will know my lifes coming to an end 
cause you shred my heart to pieces 
and the wounds will never mend 

so if you see my funeral 
and my name carve on a stone 
please dont think i couldn't live without you 
its why i die heart broken and alone 

the sun will always shine 
after the rain feeds the world 
and i will always love you 
with all my heart and soul
