  • I'd sell my soul just to see your face
    And I'd break my bones just to heal your pain
    In these times I need a saving grace
    But time is running out and I'm starting to lose my faith

    But if I told you I loved you, would it make you want to stay?
    I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
    (I should have took the time to tell you)
    And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
    Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
    (I can't go another day without you)
    Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
    (Girl you gotta know I love you)

    My heart's on my sleeve, but it's turning black
    (I guess I know what it feels like it to be alone)
    Without your touch I'm not gonna last
    (I know you know that I need ya just to carry on)
    It feels like my walls are caving in
    (You'd always hold me before I left you hanging on)
    And I'll do anything to have you here again

    But if I told you I loved you, would it make you want to stay?
    I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
    (I should have took the time to tell you)
    And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
    Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
    (I can't go another day without you)

    Yeah, the days are cold, the nights are long
    And I can't stand to be alone
    Please know this is not your fault

    And all I want

    Is to tell you I love you and make you wanna stay
    There's gotta be a way, 'cause going on without you is killing me everyday

    And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
    Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
    (I can't go another day without you)
    Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
    (Girl you gotta know I love you)
    Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
    (I can't go another day without you)

    Would it make you, make you, wanna stay? Writer/s: Benjamin Daniel Wells, Christopher Robertson, Joey Moi, John Frederick Young, Jonathan Michael Lawhon

  • Alex Kulak from Mesa, AzThat would explain why it sounds so much like a rock song, honestly the original sounds more country than FGL's version.
