Lyrics
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I begged and pleaded with you not to leave my side
Not to go but to stay in my arms
Asking you to stay with me instead of departing
Would you walk out the door
Would you walk away from this situation?
Like you did once before?
Similar to your previous departure?
This time be different
There's hope for a different outcome this time
Please stay, don't go
Pleading for you to stay, not to leave
If I call out your name like a prayer
If I invoke your name desperately
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Would you abandon me despite my emotional vulnerability?
Knowing I need you so
Recognizing my reliance on you
Would you still turn and go?
Would you still choose to depart?
This time be different
Hoping for a change in your response
Please stay, don't go, please stay
A fervent plea for you to stay, a repetition of the request
I loved you before I even knew your name
Expressing love from the very beginning
I wanted to give you my heart
Desire to offer my heart to you
But when you came back after leaving me one time
Realizing that your return after leaving once will bring heartache
Oh, I knew, oh, how I knew that the heartaches would start
Awareness of the impending pain after your return
If I called out your name like a song
If I beckoned you with affection
That was written for you and you alone
Like a song written solely for you
Would you still hurt my pride?
Would you still wound my pride?
Baby [Incomprehensible] I cried
Resulting in tears and emotional distress
This time be different
Seeking a different response this time around
Please stay, don't go, please stay
Repeating the plea for you to stay
You know I'll always love you, darling
Assuring eternal love despite the circumstances
Please stay, don't go, please, please stay
An earnest and desperate appeal for you to remain
