You give me all the reasons why   To give it all another try   You say your love will never die   If only I would stay      You say it had to be that way   You justify the price we paid   And promise me a brighter day   If only I would stay      I hear your words but in your eyes   I see the shadow of your lies   The truth will never be denied   As long as I should stay      I count the hours still before us   Weighing both sides of the chorus   Wondering what still lies before us   If only I would stay      I wait for one more reason why   To give our love another try   A reason I cannot deny   To make me want to stay      I wait and hope you will succeed   With one last justifying deed   That turns into a crying need   If only I would stay      I hear your words but in your eyes   I see the shadow of your lies   The truth will never be denied   As long as I should stay      I count the hours still before us   Weighing both sides of the chorus   Wondering what still lies before us   If only I would stay      I count the hours still before us   Weighing both sides of the chorus   Wondering what still lies before us   If only I would stay
