Stay

I remember your cold hands
on my shoulders
I remember the tears you cried
Red rose on the bedroom floor
Silently closing door
I love you's like three drops of blood
 
I remember your shadow
Through the window
Like we had time till the afterlight
I remember you counting
blazing rainbows
Then take me out
kissing my arms
 
I can still feel you touch my hand
Wounded skin
And everything I ever knew
You fought my fears on the front line
In the moonlight I braced myself and said to you
 
Listen, darling, let go
You're gonna be okay
Someday
I'm sorry I can't stay
 
I remember the night time
Then the daylight turned to the nightmares and shapes on the wall
Sneak in my ruined room
Staring at the moon
I said "we'll meet again in the fall"
It's the loneliest New year's day
My brother's birthday
He said he'll miss me when I die
I remember the last time
When I close my eyes
 
Listen, darling, let go
You're gonna be okay
Someday
Leave this ignominious room
This hospital ward
Just disappear
 
One Last look
Then you're heading home
You're gonna drive away
I'm sorry
I can't stay
 
I could be standing on your doorstep trying to get to you
In my favourite dress
Soon you'll find someone else to help you getting through
all this mess
What if I really hoped I was the best you ever knew?
The thing is the magic will never bring me back to you
 
I remember you sat on the edge of my bed
