Wish You Stayed

I’ve been away for a while
Your heart was always my home
Thought I’d never have to let you go
But here I am now and I'm sitting alone
Came back around and my hometown's broken
Here on the ground, there’s a love that’s frozen
When the words left your mouth, you were set in motion
I wish you fucking stayed
I left my life behind
No city, place, day, and time
Thought it was clear that you were mine
And now everywhere I look I see the signs
Came back around and my hometown's broken
Here on the ground, there’s a love that’s frozen
When the words left your mouth, you were set in motion
I wish you fucking stayed
Came back around and my hometown's broken
Here on the ground, there’s a love that’s frozen
When the words left your mouth, you were set in motion
I wish you fucking stayed
I came back to see
Nothing’s like it used to be
All that’s left is you and me
The rest is history
Came back around and my hometown's broken
Here on the ground, there’s a love that’s frozen
When the words left your mouth, you were set in motion
I wish you would’ve stayed
I wish you fucking stayed
