So let me stay
Stay a little while
I'll be gone, girl
Before the sun can rise

I know you're scared
I know your father's mad
I know they're saying in the end I'll make you sad

But I won't give up
And I don't mind waiting
I can wait another day
And I won't give up
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away
Cause I lost my shadow
Lost my heart
Broke my back
And crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you
The real you

So will you stay?
Stay a little while
Everything is easy when you let me see you smile
And I'll go down
Down before it's through
There's nothing secret that I wouldn't do for you

But I won't give up
And I don't mind waiting
I can wait another day
And I won't give up
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away
Cuz I lost my shadow
Lost my heart
Broke my back
And crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you
The real you (the real you)

I lost my shadow
Lost my heart
Broke my fist
And crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you
The real you (the real you)

And I don't mind waiting
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away (walk away)
And I don't mind waiting
But I can't walk away (walk away)
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away
And I don't mind waiting
But I can't walk away
