you make me smile, you make me sad
every dream ive ever had
now im without you baby
nothings the same
took awhile, it took some time
took an honest man to find
the truth deep inside this broken heart
now im empty with shame, shame

well its all i can do to be honest and true
talking with you till the dawn
its seems kinda strange
i know youve rearranged
the tracks of this train youre on
but still would it be kind
if i told you my mind was slowly consumed by you
would it be right if tonight i held you tight
and showed you what im going through

when i think about reasons
they change like the seasons
winter, spring, summer and fall
i think maybe ill take some time out to cry
and just rid myself of it all
theres something about you
i know that without you
im lost and i cant find my way
so just tell me right now
if theres some way or somehow
tell me you want me
and baby ill stay...stay... shamefully stay
baby ill stay..

and ill swallow my pride
and ill keep it deep down inside of this broken heart
and ill treat you the way that i didn't that day
you decided that we'd fallen apart
i dont want it the way it was
baby thats just because
i know i wasn't for real
seems im lost deep in thought
when all i was ever taught
was to tell a girl just how you feel
cause i know that in time
you think i might change my mind
and do this all over again
i just gotta be clear
im not sure what you fear
but i promise i'll love you my friend
cause there's something about you
i know that without you
i'm lost and can't find my way
so just tell me right now there's someway or somehow
just tell me you want me
and baby i'll stay...staaaaay... so shamefully stay,
baby i'll stay, you know that ill stay
so shamefully stay

cause i know that in time you think i might change my mind
and do this all over again
i just wanna be clear im not sure what you fear
but i promise i'll love you my friend
cause there's something about you
i know that without you
i'm lost and can't find my way
so just tell me right now
there some way
or somehow baby
tell me you want me
and baby you know im gonna
you know im gonna stay
im beggin baby please, just ask me, staaay
