Plead

How do you do those things to me
Before you I would never beg
I refused to plead

All I ever wanted was to love you
Hold you and keep you near
Instead I find myself on my knees
Shaking with fear

It hurts so bad to watch you walk away
I just want to beg-beg you to stay

I find myself crying, I can hear my voice pleading
Telling you I’m needing you

I don’t understand how you do those things to me
Only you can bring me to my knees
Only for you will I beg and bring myself to plead

Stay with me
