[Verse 1]
You say you gotta go now
Well that's okay
Run away
Like some lost child

[Verse 2]
You say I never cared much
That's no lie
Run away
Don't waste your time

[Pre-Chorus]
You never listen
You never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say

[Chorus]
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose

[Verse 3]
You say I never loved you (You say I never loved you)
So you're taking sides (So you're taking sides)
But when there seems no reason
It's just jealousy and pride (Jealousy, pride)
[Pre-Chorus]
You never listen
Oh you never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say

[Chorus]
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose

[Pre-Chorus]
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say

[Chorus]
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
Stay
(Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives)
Why won't you stay?
(The universal wheel that dominates our lives)
Run away
Like some black rose
Oh stay
(Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives)
Why won't you stay?
(The universal wheel that dominates our lives)
Run away
Like some black rose
[Outro]
Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives
The universal wheel that dominates our lives
Run away
Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives
The universal wheel that dominates our lives
