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 say you gotta go now
Well that's OK
Run away
Like some lost child
You say I never cared much
That's no lie
Run Away
don't waste your time
You never listen
You never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
You say I never loved you
So you're taking sides
But when there seems no reason
It's just jealousy and pride
You never listen
You never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
But bfore you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives
The Universal Wheel that dominates our lives
Run away
Like some black rose
