Stay

Verse 1

You said forever like a borrowed phrase,

But forever with you only meant a few days.

You switched our vows like changing lanes,

Now I’m the ghost that haunts your frame.

Pre-Chorus

Your silence speaks louder than what you said,

Every “I love you” now echoes in red.

Chorus

Stay — don’t just be a memory on replay,

Stay — don’t let my heart decay in clichés.

You ran to him like a thief in the night,

But I’m still the shadow you can’t rewrite.

Verse 2

Your lips were ink, but the story blurred,

Every promise you made was just hollow words.

You built me up just to let me fall,

Now your name’s the graffiti on my walls.

Pre-Chorus

You left me stranded in your hurricane,

But I still whisper your name like it’s holy again.

Chorus

Stay — don’t just be a memory on replay,

Stay — don’t let my heart decay in clichés.

You ran to him like a thief in the night,

But I’m still the shadow you can’t rewrite.

Bridge (spoken/screamed build-up)

You drew the line, but I bled the art,

You kept the frame, but I lost my heart.

If love’s a crime, then I’ll take the fall,

But I’ll carve your name in the ashes of it all.

Final Chorus

Stay — don’t vanish like ink in the rain,

Stay — even if every word is in vain.

You chose his arms, but I’ll never erase,

The ghost of you that time can’t replace.
