With you Fnot around it's a Glittle bit more than AmI can stand
FOoh Gand all my Amtears they keep running Fdown my face
Why did you Gturn away?
[Bridge]
So Cwhy does your pride make you Frun and hide?
Are you Cthat afraid of Dmme? 
But I Cknow it's a lie what you Fkeep inside
This is Gnot how you wanted to be

So baby I will Fwait Gfor Amyou
Cause I don't know what else FI Gcan Amdo
Don't tell me I ran Fout Gof Amtime

Everything Fstays the same
I just can't Gdo it baby

Girl I Ftold you what it Gis and it just ain't Amlike that
FNo Gwhy can't you Amlook at me, you're still in Flove with me
Don't leave me Gcrying.
