Stay with me

I’ve been sittin’ here, writing this song,

Thought about our plans, the futures we’d planned.

But your heart got heavy, the weight grew too strong,

And in the silence, baby, you just moved on.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now I’m starin’ at shadows where your light used to shine,

Wishin’ I could hold you, like we did ‘neath those pines.

But you left me shattered in the middle of the night,

Tryin’ to find the words to make this feel right.

(Chorus)

I wanted you, did you ever want me?

It’s time for me to leave, since you said we were done.

You needed space, I couldn’t see the way,

But darlin’ it was hard, and it felt so wrong.

So here I am, pen in hand,

Searchin’ for the truth in this lonesome land.

(Verse 2)

Every corner of this town holds a memory,

Dancin’ in the moonlight, oh so carefree.

But now the stars are dim, and I’m feelin’ so small,

You took the best of me, leavin’ nothin’ at all.

(Pre-Chorus)

I guess I should’ve listened when you whispered goodbye,

Now I’m stuck in the echoes of a love gone awry.

Thought we were forever, but forever came too fast,

And I’m left here holdin’ onto shadows of the past.

(Chorus)

I wanted you, did you ever want me?

It’s time for me to leave, since you said we were done.

You needed space, I couldn’t see the way,

But darlin’ it was hard, and it felt so wrong.

So here I am, pen in hand,

Searchin’ for the truth in this lonesome land.

(Bridge)

So take your time, I’ll keep walkin’ this road,

In the footprints of our love, I’ll find a way to cope.

But if you ever look back and see what we’ve lost,

Remember that my heart still carries the cost.

(Chorus)

I wanted you, did you ever want me?

It’s time for me to leave, since you said we were done.

You needed space, I couldn’t see the way,

But darlin’ it was hard, and it felt so wrong.

So here I am, pen in hand,

Searchin’ for the truth in this lonesome land.

(Outro)

Yeah, I’ve been needin’ to talk, I’ve been needin' to say,

All the pieces you left, they still stand in my way.

But maybe it’s better to let it all fade,

'Cause love’s just a memory, and I’m learnin’ to stay.
