Lyrics for Train In Vain

You say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you loved me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well, some things you can't explain away But the heart aches 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 tumbling 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 But 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 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
