Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights are out and my eyes are shut
When i stand it hurts too much
No matter what i do you know it′s true
When i dream i dream of you
When i don't have you i′m losing my mind
I wish i was with you all of the time
When i don't have you i'm losing my mind
I wish i was with you all of the time
Why won′t you stay with me
Why won′t you stay with me
(Why won't you stay with me)no matter what i do you know it′s true
(Why won't you stay with me)when i dream i dream of you
When i don′t have you i'm losing my mind
I wish i was with you all of the time




When i don′t have you i'm losing my mind
I wish i was with you all of the time
