Lyrics:

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?

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 sure you care.

So, love.
Can I make you stay awhile?
I’m spiraling in my own denial.
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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?
