Stay
By Matias M
I got it all twisted and wrong from the start
but you didn't let me fall down.
I didn't crash and burn.
I thought it was gonna be messy,
but you taught me how to wait,
so we were never as chaotic
as I expected us to be.
Not every time a love affair comes to an end
there's darkness and loneliness up ahead.
I remember the words you told me that day,
"I didn't know we were meant to fade away
but I know we can be okay
so you can always count on me
and I know you can't call me a friend
but that's for today
and tomorrow it might change,
so even when you hesitate,
when you don't know what to say,
when you're in doubt, full of insecurity,
afraid and all, just stay."
I must've daydreamed way too much,
I was already on our honeymoon,
and crashing down felt too tough
but I never listened to you.
If I had, I would've known what you want
and I was never what you really want.
Not every time a love affair comes to an end
there's darkness and loneliness up ahead.
I remember the words you told me that day,
"I didn't know we were meant to fade away
but I know we can be okay
so you can always count on me
and I know you can't call me a friend
but that's for today
and tomorrow it might change,
so even when you hesitate,
when you don't know what to say,
when you're in doubt, full of insecurity,
afraid and all, just stay."
