If you ever had the time You would try to make it fine If your promises were real Then maybe love is what I'd feel But you seem to be so sad Like a fairytale gone bad And I don't know what to say But I can't keep playing games I can't stay now, I can't stay now Or walk away, or turn away I can't stay now, I can't stay now Or walk away, or turn away So I stayed alone tonight Hoping things might turn out right Wonder if you feel the same Maybe I'm as much to blame I can't stay now As the candle burns away I want you another day Reading letters that you've sent Well is it consciences you meant If I stay with you tonight Though I know It won't be right If I turn the other way There'll be nothing else to say I can't stay now
