I can't make you stay If you'd rather walk away I can't make you stay But don't leave this way All I know is what I have And to lose that is to lose myself I cannot imagine, that I'll ever be the same again It's like a rule that's written And once loves gone you're smitten I can't make you stay If you'd rather walk away I can't find the words to say But don't leave me this way I can't make you stay I can't make you stay It's like a rule that's written And once loves gone you're smitten A part of you is lost Left with an empty space inside I can't make you stay If you'd rather walk away I can't make you stay But don't leave this way I can't make you stay If you'd rather walk away I can't find the words to say But don't leave me this way
