you said

stay

staystaystay

you said i had to stay

so now i'm sitting here

waiting for your footsteps

to sound, just around the corner

but i must be deaf because they never do

you said

stay

staystaystay

you said i had to stay

it's been four days

since i last heard you speak

since you last looked at me

and i wonder

you said

stay

staystaystay

you said i had to stay

but i wondering

was it just a ploy

so that you could

run away?

you said

stay

staystaystay

you said i had to stay

i haven't taken a breath of air

and i'm wondering if i'm crying

or if there's an earthquake

because you said to stay but you never came back

you said

stay

staystaystay

you said i had to stay

you said i had to stay

but i'm running out of air

you said i had to stay

and i'm running out of reasons to care
