So you say that it’s over
and that you no longer care
your heart has been broken
and it can’t be repaired
Well I feel it too
no I’m not that blind
but I think it’s clear
that we can fix it this time

(Build)
Now when I hear you call my name
it just doesn’t sound the same
as it did when we first met
there is something missing here
what it is, is not so clear
those memories are hard to forget

(Chorus)
Please wait
it doesn’t have to end this way
there’s got to be some other way
for you and I to work this thing through
Please stay
Please don’t walk away this time
I’m laying my heart on the line
Can’t you see that I want you to stay
it doesn’t have to end this way

Let’s look at the past
and remember what we had
plenty of good times
not all of them bad
so let’s work on the future
and move forward from here
we can do it together
as long as we show no fear

(Build)
Now when you’re laying next to me
it feels different now I see
we’re so close yet so far apart
how did it ever get this way
babe, I’m begging you to stay
I’ve always loved you right from the start

(Chorus)
Just wait
it doesn’t have to end this way
there’s got to be some other way
for you and I to work this thing through
Just stay
Please don’t walk away this time
I’m laying my heart on the line
Can’t you see that I want you to stay
it doesn’t have to end this way

(Build)
Now when I look into your eyes
I start to realize
that your feelings are not as strong
how do we get back what we had
the good times, not the bad
and try to figure out what went wrong

(Out-Chorus)
so wait
it doesn’t have to end this way
there’s got to be some other way
for you and I to work this thing through
so stay
Please don’t walk away this time
I’m laying my heart on the line
Can’t you see that I want you to stay
it doesn’t have to end this way

(Repeat Out-Chorus & fade)
