Tell me that you turned down the man Who asked for your hand 'Cause you're waiting for me And I know, you're gonna be away a while But I've got no plans at all to leave And would you take away my hopes and dreams? Just stay with me All my senses come to life While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I Have ever been and I'll never leave again 'Cause you are the only one And all my friends have gone to find Another place to let their hearts collide Just promise me, you'll never leave again 'Cause you are the only one Take my hand and my Heart and soul, I will Only have these eyes for you And you know, everything changes but We'll be strangers if, we see this through You could stay within these walls and bleed But just stay with me All my senses come to life While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I Have ever been and I'll never leave again 'Cause you are the only one And all my friends have gone to find Another place to let their hearts collide Just promise me, you'll always be a friend 'Cause you are the only one I'm stumbling off drunk, getting myself lost I am so gone, so tell me the way home I listen to sad songs, singing about love And where it goes wrong? All my senses come to life While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I Have ever been and I'll never leave again Cause you are the only one And all my friends have gone to find Another place to let their hearts collide Just promise me, you'll always be a friend 'Cause you are the only one
