I barely remember

What life was like back when

The thoughts that whirled round my head,

only made sense now and then.

I lost track of time

But it kept track of me.

I fled the scenes of accidents

But they followed me.

I can't read the future

'Til it becomes the past.

But I know how this race is run,

How it feels to come in last.

Now I have what I dreampt of

In the bad old days.

I'm not going to lose it

behaving the old ways.

   Stay with me, stay with me.

   Tell me that you'll stay with me.

   I can't imagine life without you.

   Tell me that you're gonna stay with me.

I'm a long way from perfect.

You know this by now.

Got a taste for self destruction

But I've survived somehow.

There's something I would never do.

You need to know this too.

I'd rip my heart out with both hands

Before I would hurt you.

   Stay with me, stay with me.

   Tell me that you'll stay with me.

   I can't imagine life without you.

   Tell me that you're gonna stay with me.
