Don't Go Away

If I open my eyes

I might see backwards

To the night when

The darkness came

I can't stand it  

My life's backwards

With you away

 I try to hold on tight

Nothing is going right tonight

It's been a long haul

Things I don't want at all

If I could only turn back

To the night when

Life fell apart

Don't go away

If there is someone screaming

I don't hear it

I'm slipping and sliding

And all the world's crumbling down

I can only say

My life's backwards

And I don't want it this way

 I try to hold on tight

Nothing is going right tonight

It's been a long haul

Things I don't want at all

If I could only turn back

To the night when

Life fell apart

Don't go away
