It's three in the mornin’
And he's late again
She says I thought you were gonna try to change
And soon they're arguing
And before they know it
She’s grabbing her things
Yeah she’s getting her keys
And she's giving back the ring
But when she's walking out the door
And he's taking off the wedding band
He pulls her back in
And holds onto her hand

I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna take a different road
I don't wanna move on
I'm gonna grab your hand just so damn tight
So please don't leave me here
Because I don't wanna be alone
When I gotta face my fears
So please don't go
Just stay here

In the house at the corner
There’s a ten year old girl
Her mamma and her daddy
Are arguing again
They’re screaming in the kitchen
And before she knows it
Her daddy is reaching for the door
With a box of his things
And she's grabbing onto him
While he says darling, “I’m sorry”
And she looking into his eyes, crying

I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna take a different road
I don't wanna move on
I'm gonna grab your hand just so damn tight
So please don't leave me here
Because I don't wanna be alone
When I gotta face my fears
So please don't go
Just stay here

Oh just stay here

And there’s a man rushing to the hospital
Catching the next flight
He got a call from the doctor
Saying this might be her last night
And he's praying all the way
That his mama’s gonna be okay

But when he sees her
She's closing her eyes
Reaching for his hand
And holding him tight
And he's letting the tears come pouring down
While he feels his world crash around


I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna take a different road
I don't wanna move on
I'm gonna grab your hand just so damn tight
So please don't leave me here
Because I don't wanna be alone
When I gotta face my fears
So please don't go
Just stay here

Ohhhh he's grabbing the keys
And she's ripping off the ring

Her daddy's rushing out the door fast
And she's screaming, “God, make him come back!”

And he's holding on to his mamma
And she’s closing her eyes
She's letting go and its killing him from the inside
Ohhhh

I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna take a different road
I don't wanna move on
I'm gonna grab your hand just so damn tight
So please don't leave me here
Because I don't wanna be alone
When I gotta face my fears
So please don't go
Just stay here

Just stay here.
