"Train In Vain (Stand By Me)" lyrics

"Train In Vain (Stand By Me)"

You say you stand by me when
Well tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
But then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well, some things you can explain away
But the heartache's in me 'til this day

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down
I can't be happy without you around
So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there's only one thing I can say

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

Now I got a job, but it don't pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
Without your love, I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me?

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
