[Verse 1]
Shades closed in every room
I move slow, can’t quite cope with who I see in you
Anything you said ever true?
The past year I’ve been suffering as I watched
Love turn paper thin
And who, who exactly am I to you?
[Verse 2]
'Cause I don’t want to play no games
And yeah, you changed
I don’t want to stay stuck here in this place
Tell me what you want to do
Do you think he could love you like I do?
And every year just brings more pain
Thoughts that weigh down any hope I have left in me
And I don’t really think that’s fair
Baby, yeah, I’m not really surе you care
[Verse 3]
So, love, can I make you stay awhilе?
I’m spiraling in my own denial
It’s not real (It's not real)
Yet I wanna know how you feel
'Cause every single thought that haunts me
Sticks the knife so deep I can’t breathe
I always thought it’d be you and me
And yet I’d take pain over nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
So help me out
I swear to God, I would take away the doubt
I would try, try to watch my mouth
If you would just stay for awhile?
[Chorus]
Please just don’t leave, tell me that you’ll understand
That you’ll stay here in the end
'Cause I don’t want amends, no
I just need the person that I had always thought I had
But now you see me through a different colored lens
And we both know how it ends
I promise I can change, you promise you won’t hurt again
But who are we to play pretend?
[Verse 4]
Salt in open wounds, I just smile
'Cause I don’t know what to say to you, I just feel
Like what I want could never be real
'Cause I can’t be the person you need
Almost happy, yet I’m empty
No, it could never be you and me
Still I’d take pain over nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
So help me out
I swear to God, I would take away the doubt
I would try, try to watch my mouth
If you would just stay for awhile?
[Chorus]
Please just don’t leave, tell me that you’ll understand
That you’ll stay here in the end
'Cause I don’t want amends, no
I just need the person that I had always thought I had
But now you see me through a different colored lens
And we both know how it ends
I promise I can change, you promise you won’t hurt again
But who are we to play pretend?
[Bridge]
So don’t leave, tell me that you’ll understand
Will you stay here in the end?
I don’t want amends, no
I just need the person that
I had always thought I had
Now you see me through a different colored lens
And we both know how it ends
I promise I can change, I promise you won’t hurt again
But who am I to play pretend?
[Chorus]
Please just don’t leave, tell me that you’ll understand
That you’ll stay here in the end
'Cause I don’t want amends, no
I just need the person that I had always thought I had
But now you see me through a different colored lens
And we both know how it ends
I promise I can change, you promise you won’t hurt again
But who are we to play pretend?
