Like I Wanted You to Stay
I never wanted to know
You caught me growing up
When I couldn't let go
I watched you take him away
As I choked on the words
That I never could say
So cut my head into tomorrow
And rip my eyes away today
You're at your best
When you choke the life
Right out of me
Like I wanted you to stay
Yeah I'm the prophet and the plague
Raining fire from above
While I'm preaching that it's safe
See the weight of your mistakes
See the people that you changed
When you sort your life
We'll all be standing in the way
Time plays pretend
While I'm screaming in my head
Now I sleep with the lights on
I'm scared of my own head
I never wanted to know your face
And now you haunt my nights
With every lie you ever gave
So cut my head into tomorrow
And rip my eyes away today
You're at your best
When you choke the life
Right out of me
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to
You caught me growing up
When I couldn't let go
I watched you take him away
As I choked on the words
That I never could say
So cut my head into tomorrow
And rip my eyes away today
You're at your best
When you choke the life
Right out of me
Like I wanted you to stay
Yeah I'm the prophet and the plague
Raining fire from above
While I'm preaching that it's safe
See the weight of your mistakes
See the people that you changed
When you sort your life
We'll all be standing in the way
Time plays pretend
While I'm screaming in my head
Now I sleep with the lights on
I'm scared of my own head
I never wanted to know your face
And now you haunt my nights
With every lie you ever gave
So cut my head into tomorrow
And rip my eyes away today
You're at your best
When you choke the life
Right out of me
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to stay
Like I wanted you to
