Let’s have a look at the lyrics:
Stay
The story barely started
Can’t you
Stay
Do you really want no part of this
Oh so sweet
Reverie
You back off slowly through the door
You always go and blame the weather
The weather
It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black
And I’m numb, numb
Numb, numb
Wait
I need some time to fix this can’t you wait ?
We can’t afford to miss this
You back off slowly through the door
You always go and blame the weather
The weather
It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black
And I’m numb, numb
Numb, numb
We’re living in a memory
The present is the price I pay
Fade to black
Fade to black
It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black
