I open my eyes, watch you lying there,
The sun beating on your skin
It became an unwritten rule with you
Somehow I always seem to give in
Why you got to be so strong
Your stubbornness is cruel
You know what I'd do for you
And I know where you'd walk for me
But we gotta speak it
Oh so quietly

If you could please just go away
Leave me alone
Yeah, fly away
Into the stars
Never see your face
It would make my world such a better place
It would make my world such a better place

You open your eyes, watch me lying there
What I'd give to know what you see
What I'd give to know what you feel, know what you think
If only I could step in your skin
But you see I already know
It'll end in tears
When you carry out all my fears
Being here's a dangerous game
I'll end up insane
And only have myself to blame

If you could please just go away
Leave me alone
Yeah, fly away
Into the stars
Never see your face
It would make my world such a better place
It would make my world such a better place

I know that you care
But it's never enough
I know you'll be there
But it's never enough
Please just play fair
I don't ask you for love
'Cause I don't need no empty words here

I know that you care
But it's never enough
I know you'll be there
But it's never enough, oh
Please just be fair
I don't ask you for love
'Cause I don't want your empty words here

Oh
If you could please just go away
Leave me alone
Yeah, fly away
Into the stars
Never see your face (never see your face, oh)
It would make my world such a better place
If you could please just
If you could please just
If you could please just
If you could please just
