Nobody ever knows

Nobody ever sees
I left my soul
Back there now I′m too weak
Most nights I pray for you to come home
Praying to the Lord
Praying for my soul

Now please don't go
Most nights I hardly sleep when I′m alone
Now please don't go, oh no
I think of you whenever I'm alone
So please don′t go

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm

′Cause I don't ever want to know
Don′t ever want to see things change
'Cause when I′m living on my own
I'll wanna take it back and start again
Most nights I pray for you to come home
Praying to the Lord
Praying for my soul

Now please don′t go
Most nights I hardly sleep when I'm alone
Now please don't go, oh no
I think of you whenever I′m alone
So please don′t go

I send so many messages you don't reply
I gotta figure out what am I missing babe
Singing now oh oh oh
And I need you now, I need your love oh oh oh

Now please don′t go
Most nights I hardly sleep when I'm alone
Now please don′t go, oh no
I think of you whenever I'm alone
So please don′t
Please don't go

Please don't go
Please don′t go oh no

I think of you whenever I′m alone
So please don't go

Nobody ever knows
No one truly understands

Nobody ever sees
No one truly perceives

I left my soul
I abandoned my true self

Back there now I′m too weak
Now I am too powerless

Most nights I pray for you to come home
In the majority of evenings, I plead for your return

Praying to the Lord
Seeking divine intervention

Praying for my soul
Imploring for salvation

Now please don't go
Now, I implore you not to leave

Most nights I hardly sleep when I′m alone
During most evenings, I can barely sleep in solitude

I think of you whenever I'm alone
Thoughts of you occupy my mind when I am by myself

′Cause I don't ever want to know
Because I never wish to find out

Don′t ever want to see things change
I never desire to witness changes

′Cause when I'm living on my own
For when I am living independently

I'll wanna take it back and start again
I will long to revert and begin anew

I send so many messages you don't reply
I communicate through numerous messages, but you do not respond

I gotta figure out what am I missing babe
I must determine what I am lacking, my dear

Singing now oh oh oh
Singing out loudly now

And I need you now, I need your love oh oh oh
And at this moment, I require you, I crave your love

Please don't go
I urge you not to depart

Please don′t go oh no
I beseech you not to leave, oh no

I think of you whenever I′m alone
Thoughts of you occupy my mind when I am by myself

So please don't go
Thus, please do not depart
