Stay

Stay
What I'd give for you to stay
I know it's bad, but all I have to really offer
Is the promise that I'll stay
You were so calm
I wondered if you cared at all
But then I take it back, I know that that's unfair
I'm only bitter for your wrongs
Never mind my brain and all its premonitions
Didn't care much at the time
We shouldn't love on a condition
Never thought that we would wither like the leaves do in the fall
But through it all, I wish you'd stay

Stay
What I'd give for you to lay with me
Ignore the chaos of your dog, attempt to rest
Millie too, she tried her best
And when you said
You'd keep a thought of us tucked in your head
Did you mean it or were you simply
being nice to make us cry a little less?
I could grieve and whine to all my friends and ponder
About a life with you
The truth is I get by, but I still wonder
How we strayed so far
I guess it doesn't matter in the end
But through it all, I'm not your friend

And in the deepest, darkest corners of my mind
I found my truest self cowering away
Told him, "It's all right"
Just when he thinks that it's his time to turn away
Then I remind him he should stay
