Train In Vain Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

You say you stand by your man 

Tell me something I don't understand 

You said you love me and that's a fact 

And then you left me, said you felt trapped 

Well some things you can explain away 

But the heartache's in me till this day 

[Chorus] 

Did you stand by me 

No, not at all 

Did you 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 all alone I keep the wolves at bay 

And there is only one thing that I can say 

Did you stand by me 

No, not at all 

Did you 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 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 

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 

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
