[Verse 1] Why can't you stay?
I need you to stay
'Cause you're leaving too soon
Now what''s a boy to do?

[Verse 2] And where will you go?
I need to know
If you're really gone
And how do I move on?

[Bridge] With all of these rhymes I've learned
Still couldn't find the right words
Until you were gone

[Verse 3] And where are you now?
Can I see you somehow?
Will you tell me what I do
When I really need you?

[Verse 4] And are the streets paved with gold
Like those stories you told?
Now everything is changed
There's nothing left to say

[Bridge – Reprise] With all of the rhymes I've learned
I still couldn't find the right words
Until you were
With all of the rhymes I've learned
I still couldn't find the right words
Until you were
Cause you were always
Until you were gone
