If I say that I won't leave
Tell me that you'll stay here with me
At least just for the night
Pretend that you are mine
And in return I'll pretend that I'm fine
At least just for the night
How you found me, I don't know
But now I'm too used to you
If you left, I don't know
Exactly what I would do
I'd hate for you to cry
Once I'm lost in your eyes
'Cos I'd rather drown
Than be washed away
And I'd hate for you to know
Why I have to go
'Cos I'd rather suffer
Than make you stay
If I gave my heart to you
Could I expect it's put to better use
Than I can realise?
And if I gave you my word
Would you run away with the world
That I try to provide?
What I offer, I don't know
But now all of me is for you
Why can't I find a way
To tear away from you?
I'd hate for you to cry
Once I'm lost in your eyes
'Cos I'd rather drown
Than be washed away.
And I'd hate for you to know
Why I have to go
'Cos I'd rather suffer
Than make you stay
I'd hate for you to cry
Once I'm lost in your eyes
'Cos I'd rather drown
Than be washed away
And I'd hate for you to know
Why I have to go
'Cos I'd rather suffer
Than make you stay
