I've seen it before

I know the score

You're trying to be wild and carefree

You really can't take it no more

I'm trying to think

I can't think clear

Everybody's talking at me

It's gone foggy in here

But as time goes marching home again

It leaves me to reflect

Oh, was this just a waste of time?

Or was this time well spent?

And if it marches back again

And orders me to smile

Then, will I be prepared?

Or will it take a little while?

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

I've listened to you

Please listen to me

Oh, don't tie us up completely

Just wait and see

I'll try very hard for a second chance

Which is it to be? One dead romance

Or a handful of dreams? Please tell me

It makes all the difference to me

And I really want to know

I've tried so many things

I suddenly regret

If I could only compromise

And you'd try to forget

A single kiss, a lover's wish

The past dissolves in tears

The present burns inside of me

The future disappears

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Oh yes, I will

And I'll go out of my way to make you happy

Till the sun don't shine, and the sky stops turning blue (O-o-oh)

I really want to know, could I ever be happy

Without somebody who really cared? Somebody like you (O-o-o-oh)

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow

Yes, I will
