stay

(album: Three Hearts - 2022)

Sun's going down, we're driving around
Losing track of time before you're out
Wish I could freeze this beautiful scene
But it just melts

Lost in a sea, your eyes golden green
Staring as your fingers leave my hands
Wanted to follow wherever you go
I just can't right now, but

You're always on my mind
But it's fine, I'm not crying
I hate saying goodbye
I've been lying, I'm not fine...

I just wanted you to stay!
When you're not so close to me
Feels like I forget how to breathe
Too many times I've played it cool while I watch you leave

I just wanted you to stay!
When you're not so close to me
It plays like a sad song on repeat
And too many times I've played the fool
Cause I watched you leave

Sun's going down, haven't made a sound
Tongue caught on the words trapped in my mouth
Wish I could say what I need to say, darling
I just can't right now, but

You're always on my mind
But it's fine, I'm not crying
I hate saying goodbye
I've been lying, I'm not fine...

I just wanted you to stay!

I just wanted you to stay!
When you're not so close to me
Feels like I forget how to breathe
Too many times I've played it cool while I watch you leave

I just wanted you to stay!
When you're not so close to me
It plays like a sad song on repeat
And too many times I've played the fool
Cause I watched you leave

I just wanted you to stay!
