If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you,

Not to go but to stay in my arms,

Would you walk out the door,

Like you did once before?

This time,
E
Be different,
A
Please stay,
E
don't go.
A Am7
If I call out your name like a prayer,
A Am7
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
D E
Knowing I need you so,
A D
Would you still turn and go?

This time,
E
Be different,
A
Please stay,
E
don't go
A E
Please stay.
D A
I loved you before I even knew your name,
E A (G-Am7)
And I wanted to give you my heart,
D A
But then you came back after leaving me one time,
E D E
I knew that the heartache would start
A Am7
If I called out your name like a song,
A
That was written for you,
Am7
You alone

Would you still hurt my pride?

Oh hey, how I cried

This time,

Be different,
