The real you

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So let me stay

Stay a little while

I'll be gone, girl

Before the sun can rise

I know you're scared

I know your father's mad

I know they're saying in the end I'll make you sad

But I won't give up

And I don't mind waiting

I can wait another day

And I won't give up

And I don't mind watching

But I can't walk away

Cuz I lost my shadow

Lost my heart

Broke my back

And crashed my car

And I know that I've got one last chance

To show you

The real you

So will you stay?

Stay a little while

Everything is easy when you let me see you smile

And I'll go down

Down before it's through

There's nothing secret that I wouldn't do for you

But I won't give up

And I don't mind waiting

I can wait another day

And I won't give up

And I don't mind watching

But I can't walk away

Cuz I lost my shadow

Lost my heart

Broke my back

And crashed my car

And I know that I've got one last chance

To show you

The real you (the real you)

I lost my shadow

Lost my heart

Broke my fist

And crashed my car

And I know that I've got one last chance

To show you

The real you (the real you)

And I don't mind waiting

And I don't mind watching

But I can't walk away (walk away)

And I don't mind waiting

But I can't walk away (walk away)

And I don't mind watching

But I can't walk away

And I don't mind waiting

But I can't walk away
