Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where have all my friends gone? They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day, you're all that was there
Stood by on believin', stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone, turned out I was wrong
[Verse 2]
But you brought me through and you made me feel so blue
Why don't you stay behind? So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down?
[Verse 3]
If I had an old woman, she'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy, give all of my heart
Never thought that I'd miss you, that I'd miss you so much
[Verse 4]
You brought me through and you made me feel so blue
Why don't you stay behind? So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down?
[Verse 5]
All my life, I'm waiting for someone I could show the door
Staying while, staying while, waitin' round
But nothing seems to change, you come back that month
Now that I'm blue, that I'm blue from now on
[Verse 6]
So blue
Why don't you stay behind? So blue
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind? So blue
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind? So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down?
