Why Can't You Stay - Lyric Video (not brawlhalla...)

I have a music channel now! ‪@StephanafroMusic‬

Guitar & Arrangement: Dr. Gud Times |    / drgudtimess  
Vocals & Lyrics: Stephanafro

This is the song that was at the end of my Cassidy rant. I made the fatal mistake of using it to avoid copyright claims and you guys wouldn't stop bugging me about it so Dr. Gud Times and I decided to share it. It's also on Spotify... also by request. That's certainly not something I ever thought I'd say.

Idk why this feels so much more embarrassing to post than usual...

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
You're running with that crowd of yours, the same one that knocked you down, why can't you stay?
Even with those bruises on your heart, you're still a work of art,
why can't you stay?

I've been tumblin' through these thoughts o' mine, climbing up on trees, but now I can't climb down
I'm feeling lost, I can't complain, at least I still can feel the same
And I never wanna be the one to to tell you how to feel
it's a little complicated when not everything is real
why can't you stay?

[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?

And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?

[Break]
Stay~
Stay~
Why can't you stay?

[Verse 2]
I know you're telling me you're fine, that I should just climb down and stop, I'll stay right here
Cause up above the trees, I gaze through the haze that made us lose our ways, I'll stay right here

But when the world around you's anythin' but genuine it's hard to feel at home,
that's why I'm asking you to stay, to prove to you you're not alone
I may overstep but let me set the pieces into place,
Every day and all my life I've seen good people go to waste
I'll stay right here

[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?

And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?

[Bridge]
Woaah, it's kinda sad that this world's so paper thin
and I'm aware that I don't know everything
but I know that you ain't 'one of them'

Every time I reach across the air
the branch below me snaps and leaves me hanging there
so I know I may be wrong
and I should probably stop the song
but you don't have to go along
because bygones will be bygones
Why can't you stay?

[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?

And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?
