The Shouting Stage
It's down to words I use
It's up to what I say
If you'll stay


Run my fingers down the page
Lost for words
What to say


I should be saying something
But what should I say
Should be feeling something
What will I feel
If you say
It's over
Please don't say
It's over
I want you to
Stay


The emotion's in my heart
Can't even write it down
Where do I start


Find the trigger for you smile
I'm desperate to get it back
I'm desperate
I'm desperate


Got to get back that feeling
Got to get back that spark
Got to get back that feeling
Got to get back that spark


Stay
Stay
Oh won't you stay


I should be saying something
But what should I say
Should be feeling something
What will I feel
If you say
It's over
Please don't say
It's over
I want you to
Stay
