Stay Lyrics by Sofia Carson

Sofia Carson (Japanese Import)

2022

[Verse 1]
You held me like the one thing you'd never lose
I held you at a distance, and it was cruel
I'm really good at pushing away too soon
And now I wish you'd come back, but you never do

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they say you're better off
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
Oh, they say that time will heal
But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel (Oh)

[Chorus]
I can't forget the night that I let you walk away
You took the beating of my heart
It doesn't work the same
I close my eyes somеtimes and hope that I see your face
And though I don't know whеre you are (Know that)
I wanted you to stay

[Verse 2]
I miss the way you'd call just to say my name
Messages on my phone, I still replay
You never know what you got 'til nothing's left
Forgive me now if I could say what I never said

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they say you're better off
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
Oh, they say that time will heal
But they don't ever wake up feeling like I feel (Oh)

[Chorus]
I can't forget the night that I let you walk away
You took the beating of my heart
It doesn't work the same
I close my eyes sometimes and hope that I see your face
And though I don't know where you are (Know that)
I wanted you to stay

[Post-Chorus]
I wanted you to stay (Stay)
I wanted you to stay
I wanted you to stay
Stay

[Outro]
Oh, they say you're better off
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
