Taste the words that fell from your tongue Bitter and cold just the way that you want You say I'm unclean and I'm buried in sin You drink the lies that you tell to your kids I've been sittin' in the cold Happiest I wouldn't know And I've been myself for all these years Shadows open into fears Ball it up all into tears that I Finish off my selfish way I wanted you to stay I wanted you to say my name I wondered if you'd change I wanted you to stay The pain'll help me grow With all the times you let me go I'm tired of the pain I wanted you to stay You've taken all my breath He lies away and warms our bed And my only friend was wasted on you again I've painted all these walls With memories that I can't redraw You won't call again, but baby I'd understand I wanted you to stay I wanted you to say my name I wondered if you'd change I wanted you to stay The pain'll help me grow With all the times you let me go I'm tired of the pain I wanted you to stay I wanted you to stay I wanted to say my name Of all the things you'd take I wanted you to stay
