I Only Wanted

Doesn't it ever stayMust it always fade awayCouldn't love ever beSomething tangible and realFarewell, fairweather friendAbandonment returns to taunt me againI only wanted you to stayLinger and mean the words you saidFoolishly I romanticizedSomeone was saving my lifeFor the first timeI only wanted you to be there when IOpened up my eyesI was caught in your masqueradeWish I'd stayed beneath my veilBut it just seemed so easy toOpen up myself to youOnce more into the windThe embers scatterAnd the chill settles inI only wanted you to stayLinger and mean the words you saidFoolishly I romanticizedSomeone was saving my lifeFor the first timeI only wanted you to be there when IOpened up my eyesI only wanted you to stayLinger and mean the words you saidFoolishly I romanticizedSomeone was saving my lifeFor the first timeI only wanted you to beThe one to get me through that nightI only wanted youTo be there when IOpened up my eyesDoesn't it ever stay?I only wanted you toStay
