Stay

Unforeseen daggers left your lips
Flashbacks of serenity and bliss
Huddled in the darkest corner
Wondering where you are now

You’re flying, I’m on my feet
My eyes filled with disbelief
Rocking back and forth
You’ve gotten things wrong somehow

Bridge
Caressed by your touch
Wounded by your words
Cocooned in what could never be
Torn away from you
Following a lost path
Conquered by desperation and fragility
I would, I would...

Chorus
I would beg on my knees
I’d strip myself of all dignity
My palms, my heart, my soul I’d lay
If you’d stay
I’d beg you to stay

Coldness haunts me in bed
Wagging tongues in my head
You were the potter, I was clay
You left me unfinished

You turned away as you saw me stumble
Ignored as my foundation crumbled
The flames rounded on me
You didn’t watch me diminish

Bridge

Chorus

I cry
Stay (x5)

Hysterical
Unbearable
I’m not ready to let go... (x3)

I would beg on my knees
I’d strip myself of all dignity
My palms, my heart, my soul I’d lay
If you’d stay
Stay...

I claw the air to find you
You’ve left a trail I can’t see through
My palms, my heart, my soul I left
You’ll forget

You’ll forget...
