My heart emerges black and blue
Bruised, scarred, so abused
But you
I draw back the tempered blinds
Behind them, I will find
The sun still shines
But you for awhile
You took that away
Took that away from me
But I, wish you could stay
Wish you could stay loving me
I wish you could stay here
I, wish you could stay
Just, not with me
I wish you could stay
I wish you could stay here
Running, running far away
Pace myself, I can not stay here, here, here
But running only gets you so far away
You have to face it slow, that's what my mama says
But hmm
But you for awhile
You took that away
Took that away from me
But I wish you could stay
I wish you could stay loving me
I wish you could stay here
I, wish you could stay
Just, not with me
I wish you could stay
I wish you could stay here
I thought I could find
A way to leave you behind
Yet you for awhile
You took that away
Took that away from me
But I wish you could stay
I wish you could stay loving me
I wish you could stay here
I, wish you could stay
Just, not with me
I wish you could stay
I wish you could stay here
Running, running far away
Pace myself I cannot stay
Here, here, here
