[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?
