[Chorus]
Believe me when I tell you, dear
I'd really rather you would stay
I want to have you lying here
Trace every pattern on your face
Believe me when I tell you, dear
I'd really rather you would stay

[Verse 1]
I'm standing alone in the rain
Standing alone once again
Breathing my own kind of pain
My mind won't let me escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear the pounding?
Can you hear it pounding?

[Chorus]
Believe me when I tell you, dear
I mean each and every word I say
Can trust betray a deeper fear?
Is this all a game you play?

[Verse 2]
Breathing my own kind of pain
My mind won't let me escape
I'm standing alone in the rain
I'm standing alone once again
Breathing my own kind of pain
My mind won't let me escape
[Chorus]
Believe me when I tell you, dear
I'd really rather you would stay
I'll trust you now, you're closer dear
Each line I'll read, don't walk away

Believe me when I tell you, dear
I'd really rather you would stay
Can trust betray a deeper fear?
Is this all a game you play?
I'm standing alone in the rain
Is this all a game you play?
