Stay

If I wanted to be unfair to you

I would've made you stay

In your wishy washy

Condescending

Mind bending

Kind of way

You didn't think I realized

You didn't think I knew

That I could see right through you

When you didn't want me too

You cheapen the moment

By falling asleep

Though I can tell that you're restless

With the thoughts you can't keep

I know

Your laugh when things aren't funny

The way you brush things to the side

The smile when you don't mean it

When you finally did decide

You would stick to your guns

In the rain or in the sun

No one could beat you

Even if they tried

You'd touch me softly

Then quickly dismiss it

But I knew better

Because then you'd smile

Like you mean it

And thats why I stayed

So with your heart so locked up

As if I couldn't tell

Who knew keeping to yourself

Would suit you so well

So fly by the seat of your pants

It's the only thing that free

You're catching up on purpose

Perhaps to be with me

As if that made a difference

But my tears speak more volumes

Than I can

Even if we used all my best lines

And all of your one liners

We still wouldn't fit the bill

Because my thoughts spilled over

And you'd just watch them spill

If I wanted to be unfair to you

I would've asked you to stay

I never called you mine

But I'll miss you anyway.
