[Verse 1]
When the sirens flash is gone
And we're left to carry on
All the memories are too few
When the pastor's music plays
And that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for me

[Chorus 1]
Please stay now, you left me here alone
It's the end of the line
Please stay I can't make it on my own (it's the end of the line)
Make it on my own, whoa
It's the end of the line, whoa

[Verse 2]
Now that you are dead and gone
And I'm left to carry on
I could never smile cause you
Won't stay alive for me

[Chorus 1]
Please stay now, you left me here alone
It's the end of the line
Please stay I can't make it on my own (it's the end of the line)
Make it on my own, whoa
It's the end of the line, whoa

[Bridge]
Finally
Your final resting day
Is without me
I weep
And think of brighter days
What about me?

[Chorus 2]
You can't take back, the one mistake
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day, that changed our lives
And bitter memories are left behind
You can't take back, the one mistake (whoa)
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day, that changed our lives (whoa)
And bitter memories are left behind, oh yeah

[Chorus 1]
Please stay now, you left me here alone (whoa)
It's the end of the line
Please stay I can't make it on my own (it's the end of the line) (whoa)
Make it on my own, whoa (It's the end of the line, whoa)


[Outro]
Please stay now, you left me here alone (whoa)
It's the end of the line (whoa)
Please stay I can't make it on my own (whoa)

The Offspring
