Stay

You held me like the one thing you'd never lose

I held you at a distance, and it was cruel

I'm really good at pushing away too soon

And now I wish you'd come back, but you never do

Oh, they say you're better off

As if it's gonna make it easy to move on

Oh, they say that time will heal

But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel (Oh)

I can't forget the night that I let you walk away

You took the beating of my heart

It doesn't work the same

I close my eyes sometimes and hope that I see your face

And though I don't know where you are (Know that)

I wanted you to stay

I miss the way you'd call just to say my name

Messages on my phone, I still replay

You never know what you got 'til nothing's left

Forgive me now if I could say what I never said

Oh, they say you're better off

As if it's gonna make it easy to move on

Oh, they say that time will heal

But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel (Oh)

I can't forget the night that I let you walk away

You took the beating of my heart

It doesn't work the same

I close my eyes sometimes and hope that I see your face

And though I don't know where you are (Know that)

I wanted you to stay

I wanted you to stay (Stay)

I wanted you to stay

I wanted you to stay

Stay

Oh, they say you're better off

As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
