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
