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 away 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



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
