Stay, I Said

Stay, I said I will fall apart without you Stay, I said There's no light if I can't have you Nothing gained if I keep you at bay Nothing gained 'cause You always know what to say Nothing gained either way You promised happiness, you promised peace Now I'm alone again and I only have me And I can tell you now that there's no quick relief All I have to comfort is the bittersweet memory Stay, I said How can you watch as my heart breaks Stay, I said How can you tear up a decade Nothing gained if you keep me at bay Nothing gained cause there's Always something else to say Nothing gained either way You promised happiness, you promised peace Now I'm alone again and I only have me And I can tell you now that there's no quick relief All I have to comfort is the bittersweet memory I found fear where I left it And time where I spent it And every room haunted by your voice I found love wholly wasted And faith in the middle of it And hope when I saw him again You promised happiness, you promised peace I felt alone again, when it was never only me
