Before you leave can I say something?
I promise I'll make it quick
I don't really know what we are becoming
But it makes my stomach feel sick
I'm feeling weak to the knees
I'm begging, pleading you please
Will you stay for just one more day?
Cause my love has spread like a disease
Can you promise me that I won't get let down?
Cause I'm sick of being made into a clown
And the words I say are full of meaning
Even though I was drunk and screaming
And your lips they stay in my memory
I just can't get them out of my head you see?
You said goodbye, so long
You didn't even stay to hear your song
'Bout the things I felt and wanted to say
I'm sure if you heard it you would have stayed
Is this what I am just another joke?
You all stand there laughing while making me choke
Do you hear yourself in all my songs?
I can guarantee you're always wrong
And your touch it stays in my memory
I just can't get it out of my head you see?
You said goodbye, so long
You didn't even stay to hear your song
'Bout the things I felt and wanted to say
I'm sure if you heard it you would have stayed
It started off kind of hopeful
I thought that you felt how I do
But when I gave the proposal
You said my thoughts they were not true
Now I'm trying to fill the void
That you left in your wake
And I guess I am annoyed
You put your foot down on the brake
You said goodbye, so long
You didn't even stay to hear your song
'Bout the things I felt and wanted to say
I'm sure if you heard it you would have stayed
