lyrics

Stay a while
I know I’m more than just a name
My head is wild
My thoughts are praying for someone to blame
It’s a timeless style
She dries her hands and turns away
Cause who needs those who wait?

Mind at ease
Puts down all arms to keep the peace
What a joyous time
So why am i still losing sleep
Oh, but it’s hard to kill the messenger when it’s only a screen
But the weight feels the same
Her words tend to remain

She said don’t call me selfish
But I think I’ve earned more time
With space in small numbers
No action would be a crime

Stay a while
Some compromise won’t do you wrong
Few thousand miles
She was never one for long goodbyes
But wait I said, think about all that we made
Don’t you want to see this monument grow?
But it was already set to implode

When she said don’t call me selfish
But I think I’ve earned more time
With space in small numbers
No action would be a crime
Don’t call me selfish if you never felt the whispers of a letdown
For your an my own good, don’t ever come around

For you and my own good don’t ever come around
For me and my own good, don’t ever come around
