{Verse 1:}
Doesn´t it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn´t love ever be
Something tangible and real
Farewell, fairweather friends
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

{Chorus:}
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life for the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

{Verse 2:}
I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I´d stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

{repeat Chorus}

{Guitar Solo}

Oh I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life for the first time
I only wanted you to be
The one to get me through that night

{Chorus:}
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be the one
To get me thru that night
I only wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Doesn´t it ever stay?
I only wanted you to stay
