Lyrics
[verse]
Layla, I've been down this road before
Layla, standing outside your door
I know you love another man
But I can't help the way I feel, understand
Layla, I'm standing in the rain
Layla, won't you take away this pain
[verse]
I tried to hide it, tried to let it go
Told myself a hundred times it wouldn't show
But every night I'm staring at the phone
Wishing I could bring you home
You said you're happy, but I see it in your eyes
There's a piece of you still caught up in goodbyes
[chorus]
Layla, my heart is calling out your name
Layla, I can't keep living with this flame
Layla, just give me one more sign
Layla, tell me that you'll stay this time
[verse]
Let's find a way to turn this whole thing around
For too long I've been silent, never made a sound
Let's not carry on, pretending we don't feel this way
I've got to tell you what's inside of me today
[chorus]
Layla, my heart is calling out your name
Layla, I can't keep living with this flame
Layla, just give me one more sign
Layla, tell me that you'll stay this time
[bridge]
I've been through every kind of heartbreak this town could throw
And still your name keeps calling like a undertow
Nothing I could do or say
Could ever make this feeling fade away
[chorus]
Layla, my heart is calling out your name
Layla, I can't keep living with this flame
Layla, just give me one more sign
Layla, tell me that you'll stay this time
