Stay close, Don't go Lyrics

Staring at the glass in front of me
Is it half empty?
Have I ruined all you've given me?
I know I've been selfish, I know I've been foolish
But look through that and you will see

I'll do better
I know baby I can do better

If you leave me tonight
I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sink till it dies
If you leave me tonight

Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping
I listen to your breathing
Amazed how somehow I managed to
Sweep you off your feet, girl
Your perfect little feet, girl
I took for granted what you do

But I'll do better
I know baby I can do better

If you leave me tonight
I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sink till it dies
If you leave me tonight

Don't you know?
My heart is pumping
Oh it's putting out the fire
And I've got his feeling that everything's alright
And don't you see?
I'm not the only one for you
But you're the only one for me

If you leave me tonight
I'll wake up alone

Stay
If you leave me tonight
I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sink till it dies
If you leave me tonight
Don't leave me tonight

this song is predictably just as beautiful as secondhands other songs. i think it is bout a guy feeling like she is leaving and realizes she is all he has. another sweet love song

I always thought they sounded a bit like Dashboard Confessional, and this song... proves it... but Secondhand Serenade sounds awesome! I luv "Vulnerable"

this song is beautiful. i love this band.

one of my favourites songs from secondhand

He sounds very much like Dashboard Confessional. Seriously, can't we change the "users would also like (insert band name here)"? Who decides that shit and why are they clueless?

Cover art for Stay close, Don't go lyrics by Secondhand Serenade

wow. there's something about every single one of his songs that just "sweeps you off your feet."

the first time i heard this song i was like CHRIS CARABBA! then i read the comments and see im not the only one! haha dashboards my favorite band so i think sounding like chris is a good thing.

anyway, i think this song's pretty self-explanitory. he's made some mistakes that has made their relationship vulnerable, and now that he's realizing this, hes like panicking because this girl is the "only one" for him and hes trying to show this to her by spilling his heart and feelings basically.

amazing song.

This song is about John's wife talking about leaving him because of his touring, and his pleading for her to stay with him.

Sadly... she left him.

wait she left him???

i though they were having another kid er something???

Cover art for Stay close, Don't go lyrics by Secondhand Serenade

My ex used to sing this song to me... He was always worried I was going to leave him because he thought I could find someone better. Turns out he's the one who left me. So now I was the one to sing this song lol. My favorite part: "Don't you see? I'm not the only one for you, but you're the only one for me." Me and my ex were going out for about 2 months and we were listening to this song parked at the lake. At the exact same time we looked at each other and said " You're the only one for me" It wasn't planned or anything. Very cute =] Just thought I'd share that :) I love love LOVE this song
