I left a part of me back in DC
I left a weary heart on the seat in the car
Fell for a fragile boy, a half-hearted man
Charming and subtly coy, he took my hand
Back and forth we swing
Hanging on by the thinnest string
Oh, it's sad the way love goes
When feelings we don't show
Take us down a winding road
Oh, so much I couldn't say
So I pushed love away
When all I wanted was for you to stay
It's easier to play it cool, than be made love's fool
It's easier to hide the truth, than say I need you
Here I am it's me again, sitting here with heart in hand
All the while I'm just wondering when
I'll see you again
Oh, it's sad the way love goes
When feelings we don't show
Take us down a winding road
Oh, so much I couldn't say
So I pushed love away
When all I wanted was for you to stay
Stay with me, even for another glass
Honey we're home at last
Ticking time don't move so fast
Oh, it's sad the way love goes
When feelings we don't show
Take us down a winding road
Oh, so much I couldn't say
So I pushed love away
When all I wanted was for you to stay
Oh just stay
Even for a little while
Oh just stay
