Intro
Verse1:
Close the door
I feel a breeze hold me please
I hate to be alone
It's a cold night, turn off the light
Come take my hand and...
Chorus:
to these things I have to say
please understand
she left me, all alone again
Verse2:
Clear the room
Of every memory
I don't want that song back on
It's an endless maze
Take away this haze
Please mend my heart and...
Chorus:
Listen
to these things I have to say
please understand
she left me, all alone again
Adlib
Chorus:
Listen
to these things I have to say
please understand
she left me, all alone again
Verse3:
Turn away
Don't want you to see me cry
I just want things the way they were
It's so hard to say goodbye
Wipe my tears and...
Chorus:
Listen
to these things I have to say
please understand
she left me, all alone again
Outro:
This I ask of you
Please stay with me
Until she comes back
