[Verse 1]
Why can't you stay?
I need you to stay
'Cause you're leaving too soon
Now what''s a boy to do?
[Verse 2]
And where will you go?
I need to know
If you're really gone
And how do I move on?
[Bridge]
With all of these rhymes I've learned
Still couldn't find the right words
Until you were gone
[Verse 3]
And where are you now?
Can I see you somehow?
Will you tell me what I do
When I really need you?
[Verse 4]
And are the streets paved with gold
Like those stories you told?
Now everything is changed
There's nothing left to say
[Bridge - Reprise]
With all of the rhymes I've learned
I still couldn't find the right words
Until you were
With all of the rhymes I've learned
I still couldn't find the right words
Until you were
Cause you were always
Until you were gone
