As they were being said I wished those words were dead
they grow and grow and grow in our heads
they linger, linger and haunt us days on end
It was all in a moment of anger these daggers that I threw
they're still deeply embedded into you
I swear I fear there's nothing I can do
Stay a while young is the night
give me a chance to set things right
don't you throw away those years of love
over one night when the love went wrong
Stay a while young is the night
give me a chance to set things right
don't you throw away those years of love
over one night when the love went wrong,
over one night when the love went wrong.
I can see it in your eyes in the way you look at me
mistrust has now replaced intimacy
I feel you drifting, drifting far from me.
Stay a while young is the night
give me a chance to set things right
don't you throw away those years of love
over one night when the love went wrong,
over one night when the love went wrong.
I swear, I will fight this
I vow not to lose
I'll be damned if this destroys us
I'll be damned if I lose you,
I lose you.
Stay a while young is the night
give me a chance to set things right
don't you throw away those years of love
over one night when the love went wrong
Stay a while young is the night
give me a chance to set things right
don't you throw away those years of love
over one night when the love went wrong,
over one night when the love went wrong,
when the love went wrong,
when the love went wrong,
when the love went wrong.
