Is It Too Much To Ask?

Original by Layla-Ruth. Wrote this during a Christmas break when I thought I was moving.

Lyrics:

Is it too much to ask you to stay?

We’re bringing home the summer
We’re burning down our bridges
And progress means giving up on our limits
We’re growing out of staying
As we stand taller than we used to
Is this just confidence or are we aging out of innocence?

So is it too much to ask you to stay?
You don’t have to keep walking away
But is it too much to ask you leave?
I can’t stand the way that it doesn’t feel the same

So don’t walk away from me I want to speak what’s on my mind but my throat is tightening as you’re walking away

Is it too much to ask?
Is it too much to ask?

We’re wiser than we would have been if choices weren’t regretted
We made something beautiful and now we bury it
The sun it setting slowly only time can tell how lonely
We’ll be when the dawn rises and one of us is gone
