Stay - The Crüxshadows

she flickers just a pleading thought,

an echo back through time,

regret, perhaps, reverberates behind.

and in her silent ghostly voice

remains a somber calm.

each syllable recalls her fate

and seems to say it all:

you can wander far away from me,

but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories

and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,

why don’t you stay?

half of one is still so incomplete,

wanting to be you and me,

three short words you can’t repeat, «i love you,»

why don’t you stay?

as chaos p-ssing in a blur,

an innocence already gone,

the gears of tragic sadness turn

and blindly carry on.

reflections p-ss in spheres of sound

and now the echo fades away,

perfection slips unrecognized,

still i hear her say:

you can wander far away from me,

but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories

and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,

why don’t you stay?

half of one is still so incomplete,

wanting to be you and me,

three short words you can’t repeat, «i love you,»

why don’t you stay?

tell me, do you hear her voice?

it echoes and echoes and echoes.

narcissus made the choice…

you can wander far away from me,

but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories

and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,

why don’t you stay?

half of one is still so incomplete,

wanting to be you and me,

three short words you can’t repeat, «i love you,»

why don’t you stay?

you can wander far away from me,

but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories

and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,

why don’t you stay?

half of one is still so incomplete,

with words unnoticed, just repeat, «i love you,»

why don’t you stay?
