Stay

She flickers just a pleading thought
An echo back through time
Regret, perhaps, reverberates behind

And in her silent ghostly voice
Remains a somber calm
Each syllable recalls her fate
And seems to say it all

You can wander far away from me
But tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
And happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake
Why don’t you stay?

Half of one is still so incomplete
Wanting to be you and me
Three short words you can’t repeat: I love you
Why don’t you stay?
As chaos p-ssing in a blur
An innocence already gone
The gears of tragic sadness turn
And blindly carry on

Reflections p-ss in spheres of sound
And now the echo fades away
Perfection slips unrecognized
Still I hear her say

You can wander far away from me
But tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
And happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake
Why don’t you stay?

Half of one is still so incomplete
Wanting to be you and me
Three short words you can’t repeat: I love you
Why don’t you stay?

Tell me, do you hear her voice?
It echoes and echoes and echoes
Narcissus made the choice

You can wander far away from me
But tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
And happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake
Why don’t you stay?

Half of one is still so incomplete
Wanting to be you and me
Three short words you can’t repeat: I love you
Why don’t you stay?

You can wander far away from me
But tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
And happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake
Why don’t you stay?

Half of one is still so incomplete
With words unnoticed, just repeat: I love you
Why don’t you stay?
