My whole life waiting for the right time To tell you how I feel Know I try to tell you that I need you. Here I am without you I feel so lost but what can I do? 'Cause I know this love seems real But I don't know how to feel. We say goodbye in the pouring rain And I break down as you walk away. Stay, stay. 'Cause all my life I felt this way But I could never find the words to say Stay, stay. Alright, everything is alright Since you came along And before you I had nowhere to run to Nothing to hold on to I came so close to giving it up. And I wonder if you know How it feels to let you go? You say goodbye in the pouring rain And I break down as you walk away. Stay, stay. 'Cause all my life I felt this way But I could never find the words to say Stay, stay. So you change your mind And say you're mine. Don't leave tonight Stay. Say goodbye in the pouring rain And I break down as you walk away. Stay, stay. 'Cause all my life I felt this way But I could never find the words to say Stay, stay. Stay with me, stay with me, Stay with me, stay with me, Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.
