PLEASE STAND BY ME

I was alone when I first met you,
When you talked to me passing hopes anew.
It was so pleasing, the time with you,
It broke my desolation and didn't leave a clue.

You made me happy, I was almost on clouds,
I lost my pain, my ecstasy knew no bounds.
I didn't have a thought of leaving you,
And then I heard you say, "I'll stand by you".

I always thought that you'd stick to me,
I always dreamt that you'd never lie to me,
But what you payed me is my loneliness back,
Oh! What was it? A present or a payback.

It was all a lie, that you've ever said to me,
A false promise which meant you'd never leave me,
I am in need of someone who'd care for me,
I need you by my side, please stand by me.
