Doesn't it ever stay
Must it
always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible
and real
Farewell
fairweather friend
Abandonment returns
to taunt me again
I only
wanted you to stay
Linger and mean
the words you said
Foolishly
I romanticized
Someone was
saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you
to be there when I
Opened up my eyes
I was caught
in your masquerade
Wish I'd stayed
beneath my veil
But it just seemed
so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more
into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill
settles in
I only wanted you
to stay
Linger and mean
the words you said
Foolishly
I romanticized
Someone was
saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you
to be there when I
Opened up my eyes
I only wanted you
to stay
Linger and mean
the words you said
Foolishly
I romanticized
Someone was
saving my life
For the first time
I only
wanted you to be
The one to get me
through that night
I only wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Doesn't it ever stay
I only wanted you to
Stay
