lyrics

Verse
“Don’t go!” he screams
at the top of his lungs
as her train is pulling away

The sweat pours down his back
As he races the train
To try and catch her attention

Pre-Chorus
But he’s forced to watch her go
His legs carried him way too slow
As his life is pulling away with his dreams
Along with all his dreams

"Just go" it seems
is at the top of the rung
of the list of all of her needs

As the train runs down the track
she closes her eyes
just to break the tension

Pre-Chorus
But little does he know
She wouldn’t let her tear drops show
As her life is pulling apart
At the seams

She screams

Chorus
“Why won’t you
Give me a reason to stay
Please, I beg you,
don’t let me go away”

I need you and
I know you need me too
But I just can’t take
The time we waste
Please, I pray,
give me a reason to stay

Bridge
Now the distance in their hearts
Is measured out in tracks

He can hear the whistle blowin'
“She ain't never coming back”

"You waited far too long"
She whispers in her sleep

Please tell me

Chorus
“Why won’t you
Give me a reason to stay
Please, I beg you,
don’t let me go away”

I need you and I know you need me too
But I just can’t take
The time we waste
Please, I pray,
give me a reason to stay
