[Verse]
I know it's hard to tFell how mixed up you fCeel
Hoping what you nEeed is behind every Amdoor
Each time you get hFurt, I don't want you to cChange
Because everyone has hEopes, you're human after Amall
The feeling sometFimes, wishing you were someone Celse
Feeling as tEhough you never bAmelong
This feeling is not sFadness, this feeling is not Cjoy
I truly underEstand. Please, don't Amcry now
[Chorus]
Please don't Fgo, I want you to Cstay
I'm begging you pElease, please don't Amleave here
I don't want you to hFate for all the hurt that you Cfeel
The world is just iEllusion trying to Amchange you
[Verse]
Being like you aFre
Well this is something elCse, who would compreEhend?
But some that do, Amlay claim
Divine purFpose blesses tChem
That's not what I beliEeve, and it doesn't matter anyAmway
A part of your sFoul ties you to the next woCrld
Or maybe to the laEst, but I'm still not sAmure
But what I do kFnow, is to us the world is difCferent
As we are to the worEld but I guess you would kAmnow that
[Chorus](repeat twice)
Please don't Fgo, I want you to Cstay
I'm begging you pElease, please don't Amleave here
I don't want you to hFate for all the hurt that you Cfeel
The world is just iEllusion trying to Amchange you
Please don't Fgo, I want you to Cstay
I'm begging you pElease, please don't Amleave here
I don't want you to hFate for all the hurt that you fCeel
The world is just iEllusion always tryAming to change you
