You, you go to work
Me I'm a jerk
I only sit around the house and play
We, we've been here before
We've shut the door
Upon that monster
He won't go away

But sometimes when you're gone
I sit and write this love song

I was not looking
I was waiting
I've been blind
And you've been standing
Right before me all this time

Tell me I'm a hero
So maybe I can be
I'll cue the choir of angels
All singing I believe

And we can ride up to the sky
Just you and I
Flying away
Don't leave me
Stay, stay, stay

Once upon a time
When you were mine
And everything was falling into place

Now, it's all about
Who's walking out
I cannot even look into your face

But someday when you're gone
I'll sit and write this love song

I was not looking
I was waiting
I've been blind
And you've been standing
Right before me all this time

Don't tell me I'm a hero
Cause I could never be
I'll cue the choir of angels
All singing I believe
And we will ride up to the sky
Just you and I
Flying away
Don't leave me
Stay, stay, stay

Someday when you're gone
I'll sit and write this love song
