I couldn't make her want to stay

I couldn't seem to find the words to say

Now I have to live in yesterday

I thought that you were on my side

I thought that I could keep our love alive

I thought that I could keep her satisfied

The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you

I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through

Now she's gone

She didn't even say good-bye

I guess she didn't have the heart to try

She didn't even have the guts to lie

Only you can turn the page

And close the curtain on this empty stage

Only you can take my pain away

And my heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you

It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to

Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you

I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through

She's your child make her mine
