Lyrics
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.
You did not dare say a single word
I did not dare ask for something more
I've kept my questions secret deep inside
But I wish I could have let you know about
A time when I would have said
Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just stay
Did you want it to be this way?
Would you want to know what I've been through?
(Through all this time... all this time)
Would you want to know I have missed you too
(And I have you on my mind)
And you've been and you will be a part of me
(That I can't find)
And you've been forgiven for your silence
All this time when I would have said
Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just say
Is there a way that could replace
The times you never said
How've you been?
Do you need anything?
Want you to know I'm here?
Want you to feel me near?
Yeah...and I hope
I hope that you will find your way
Yeah...and I hope
I hope there will be better days
Please wait, and just stay
(Please stay)
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, just stay)
Did you want it to be this way?
Wait, please say
(Yeah, and I hope)
I hope that you will find your way
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, and I hope)
I hope there will be better days
Hey hey...
Wait
Please stay
Just stay
Please wait
