lyrics

Verse
You burst into the room
Just like fireworks And all I see
Are stars and blinding lights across the sky
Images of air balloons
And walking down the aisle with you
For the moment, I'll keep these thoughts inside

PreChorus
And I can't believe
That when you see me
I hear your friends say "leave"
But you don't have to go

Chorus
You don't have to go-o-o away
From here
Please stay for a while
Be near
I don't want you to leave
I just want you to stay
You don't have to go

Verse
Thousands of people
But I swear that we're alone
Cause you're the only one that I can see
You tie me up in knots
The way your name falls off your tongue
I'd tell you mine, but I can't speak

PreChorus
That's why I can't believe
That you're here with me
You say it's time to leave
But you don't have to go

Chorus
You don't have to go-o-o away
From here
Please stay for a while
Be near
I don't want you to leave
I just want you to stay
You don't have to go-o-o away
From me
Please stay for a while
Don't leave
I'd rather be hurt
Than never know how to bleed
You don't have to go

Choruses....
You don't have to go-o-o away
From here
Please stay for a while
Be near
I don't want you to leave
I just want you to stay
....
You don't have to go-o-o away
From here
Please stay for a while
Be near
I don't want you to leave
I just want you to stay
You don't have to go-o-o away
From me
Please stay for a while
Don't leave
I'd rather be hurt
Than never know how to bleed
You don't have to go
