Make me cry
i don't want to lose this feeling
if i could choose
a place to die
it would be in your arms
Bridge:
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
Lord, i would gladly do it because
Chorus:
i don't wanna fade away
give me one more day please
i don't wanna fade away
in your heart i wanna stay
Its all wrong,
but its all right
the way that you treat me baby
once i was strong
oh, but i lost the fight
you won't find a better loser
Bridge
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
Lord, i would gladly do it because
Chorus
i don't wanna fade away
give me one more day please
i don't wanna fade away
in your heart i wanna stay

if you find me with another lover
