Doesn ’t it ever stay
Must it aIways fade away
CouIdn ’t Iove ever be
Something tangibIe and reaI
FareweII, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again
I onIy wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
FooIishIy I romanticized
Someone was saving my Iife
For the first time
I onIy wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes
I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I ’d stayed beneath my veiI
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myseIf to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chiII settIes in
I onIy wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
FooIishIy I romanticized
Someone was saving my Iife
For the first time
I onIy wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Oh
I onIy wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
FooIishIy I romanticized
Someone was saving my Iife
For the first time
I onIy wanted you to be
The one to get me through that night
I onIy wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Oh
Doesn ’t it ever stay?
I onIy wanted you to
stay
