-stay-

Three O'clock in the morning
Know I shouldn't live this way
Time for him to leave
Smile upon my face of understanding
Inside...inside I'm numb
Try not to wear my heart on my sleeve
Can't bare to feel all this pain
Why can't he see what's in front of him
As he walks away with ease
I catch my breath
But he never turns around
And the door closes
I fall to my knees
Single tear rolls down my cheek
Begging the Lord please
Please, make him stay
