Stay or Go - Ricky Alone
You're tracing circles
on the bedsheet
eyes on the window
not on me
A thousand answers
you don't say
hanging between
what goes and stays
Do you wanna stay or go?
I can't read your silence anymore
Are we holding on too slow
to something that we had before?
If you're halfway out the door
say it so I don't die trying
Do you wanna stay or go?
Tell me now, or leave me lying
We're talking careful, quiet phrases
like every word could make it break
You say you're tired, I hear I'm changing
and I don't know how much to take
Do you wanna stay or go?
I can't read your silence anymore
Are we holding on too slow
to something that we had before?
If you're halfway out the door
say it so I don't die trying
Do you wanna stay or go?
Tell me now, or leave me lying
I could beg you to remember
every promise that we made
But if I have to pull you closer
then you're already too far away
So don't tell me we're complicated
that word just means you're letting go
I'd rather hurt, I'd rather hear it
than drown in what I'll never know
Do you wanna stay or go?
I can't read your silence anymore
Are we holding on too slow
to something that we had before?
If you're halfway out the door
say it so I don't die trying
Do you wanna stay or go?
Tell me now, or leave me lying
You're tracing circles
on the bedsheet
Same old pattern
same old ache
If you're leaving
walk out softly
close the door
before I wake
