As we laughed ourselves through the years
we stopped thinking ‘bout what we once did love
And now we have pushed it a few feet over the edge
You are gone but you’re things are still here
and I guess that I don’t want you to take ‘em away
I don’t want to forget, I just want you right here by my side

Stay with me baby the sun just won’t shine on without you
Stay with me darling I won’t let you out of my mind
The winter is coming I’m scared and I’m running
Alone and I can’t find my way
And although you know that I’ll give you no answers
Just come back my darling and stay

The stakes have grown higher
as I’ve fought to hide you and keep you here safe in my cage
I’ve tried to act blind as if this was the best of all states
But I can’t take changes I’ve got no defense
I’m not able to put up a fight
Against the sorry excuse for a man that I have become

Stay with me baby the sun just won’t shine on without you
Stay with me darling I won’t let you out of my mind
The winter is coming I’m scared and I’m running
Alone and I can’t find my way
And although you know that I’ll give you no answers
Just come back my darling and stay

I’m turning to you when you’re trying to leave me
Desperately seeking your shelter again

Stay with me baby the sun just won’t shine on without you
Stay with me darling I won’t let you slip from my heart
