River 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.
Sleepwalking the empty like there's x's on my eyes
Held me like a hostage
You're so good at telling lies
How did you think this would feel?
You had to know this would end
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
If you needed me to save you
It's more than I'd ever do (more than I'd ever do)
I can't make the river stay
Forcing me to walk away
Nothing left for me to say
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
Feel sick from the memories
We said we fell in love
Celebrate the scars and all the ones still left to come
Is this how I'm supposed to feel?
'Cause this all means nothing to me
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
If you needed me to save you
It's more than I'd ever do (more than I'd ever do)
I can't make the river stay
Forcing me to walk away
Nothing left for me to say
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
If you needed me to save you
It's more than I'd ever do (more than I'd ever do)
I can't make the river stay
Forcing me to walk away
Nothing left for me to say
Forgive you
Is the last thing I'd ever do (last thing I'd ever do)
