Make me Stay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Struggling with emotion in this place
Trying to keep my head above the water of your sin
I'm reminded of that look you get upon your face
As your hands cup a cigarette to a lighter in the wind
I'm sure I must have had that countenance
Mercy to your nature and hostage to the vice
How could I've taken any other stance?
When all your love and anger is mine to have tonight
Close the door on this conversation
It doesn't really matter anyway
Slam the book on this old frustration
You can plead, pretend & promise me
That will not make me stay
Lost in the maze of your reality
Steering with a fury toward our inevitable end
This time I'm praying for some amnesty
Divine intervention -- hush your logical defense
Close the door on this conversation
It doesn't really matter anyway
Slam the book on this old frustration
You can plead, pretend & promise me
That will not make me stay
Do you believe the words you scream?
(I can't hear you anymore)
I think we've been living in a dream
(I can't hear you)
And this dream will not, cannot, ever make me stay
Close the door on this conversation
It doesn't really matter anyway
Slam the book on this old frustration
You can plead, pretend & promise me
That will not make me stay
