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
