I Only Wanted

La la la la la

Doesn't it ever stay

Must it always fade away

Couldn't love ever be

Something tangible and real

Farewell fair weather friend

Abandonment returns to taunt me again

I only wanted you to stay

Linger and mean the words you said

Foolishly I romanticized

Someone was saving my life for the first time

I only wanted you to be there when I opened up my I

I

Was caught in your masquerade

Wish I'd stayed beneath my vain

But it just seems so easy to open up myself to you

Oh once more into the wind

The embers scatter and the chill settles in I

I only wanted you to stay

Linger and mean the words you said

Foolishly I romanticized

Someone was saving my life for the first time

I only wanted you to be there when I opened up my eyes

Eyes

No no no no no

Do do do do do do do do do do

Oh

I only wanted you to stay

Linger and mean the words you said

Foolishly I romanticized

Someone was living my life for the first time

I only wanted you to be

The one to get me through the night

I only wanted you to be there when I open up my I

Oh

Doesn't it ever stay

I only wanted you to stay
