I don't know, seems crazy how we got this far There's something 'bout you that felt pretty good That I can't see anymore Should've known, but I got stuck here in your arms But you hold onto me like you're holding your demons As we're lying in the dark It's you I'm gonna miss The one I tried to fix Pathetic as it is So don't you stay if you don't mean it If you don't feel it, and just fuck me up again Please walk away and we'll just leave it Or were you thinkin' I would give my heart in vain? I won't give my heart in vain, in vain Nah, nah, nah, no, oh Should've questioned how you tried to keep it low Never listened to all the alarms in my mind That were telling me to go You never talk, you keep your feelings underground Never pictured myself as someone to catch you on the rebound It's you I'm gonna miss The one I tried to fix Pathetic as it is So don't you stay if you don't mean it If you don't feel it and just fuck me up again Please walk away and we'll just leave it Or were you thinkin' I would give my heart in vain?

It's you and her that hurt me Now it seems all the laughter is gone I remember the days going out, having fun Now my bitterness wakes me in the evening sun I remember this all in vain Summer nights drawn by the fire All the embers were smoldering still Now I'm lost in the cold Wasted all I got Taste the sour from my eyes My face is raw with salt Starving candles, dying light Can somebody take me home? In our prime we prospered Still I feared the rain coming down I remember the nights holding hands in the park In our innocence, stirring up the passionate sparks I remember the golden days And we'd be drinking wine Downing it fast, it is almost time Almost time to let go Gave it all I got I'm in pieces, torn apart How I know it is all my fault Starving candles, dying light Can somebody take me home?

They say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me oh, and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well there's some things you can't explain away And this heartache's with me to this day Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way All the times that we were close, I remember these things the most I've seen my dreams come tumbling down I can't be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there's only one thing I can say Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way --- Instrumental --- So explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? hey Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way I got a job but it don't pay I need new clothes, Somewhere to stay Hey, without these things I can do But without your love I can't make it through But if you don't understand My point of view Then there's not a damn thing I can do Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way...
