Are you here to stay?

The very first time that I saw you,
You didn't know me, but I still knew
That this feeling wouldn't go away.
That you were here to stay.

We were both young, and little we knew,
Of all the things that we'd go through
together, day by day
wasted and wasting away.

[CHORUS]
How will you ssee we're meant to be
If you won't take a chance with me?
How will you know where this will go,
If you won't let your feelings show?

There's only one thing to say..
are you here to stay?

The years passed by, and we grew.
You got to know me, just like I knew..
That this feeling wouldn't go away.
I hoped you were here to stay.

You say you like me, and I like you
and for once, this love is true.
So why can't you see,
That we were meant to be.

How will you see, we're meant to be
If you won't take a chance with me?
How will you see where this will go
If you won't let your feelings show?

Only one thing to say..
are you here to stay?

You say we're too young, "just give it time"
But what makes this love a crime?
This feeling won't go away,
but you're not here to stay.

You listen to your friends in all you do.
You worry bout what they'd think of you.
You put all feelings aside,
and drown in your lies.

How will you see, we're meant to be
If you won't take a chance with me?
How will you know where this will go,
If you won't let your feelings show?

There's Only one thing to say.
I know you're not here to stay.

The very first time that I saw you...
You didn't know me but I still knew
That this feeling never went away,
but you're not here to stay.
