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
