I wish you could have stayed(Unplugged)

V5.5

[intro] [Verse 1] Do you remember how it felt then When nothing told you who to be? No weight of truth upon your shoulders Just quiet, perfect certainty You never questioned any moment You never feared what lies beneath I held you close inside the silence And gave you everything you need [Pre-Chorus 1] But something restless grew inside you A distant echo, undefined You called it truth — I called it distance That pulled you slowly out of time... [Chorus 1] I wish you could have stayed… It wasn’t broken like you say No need to wake from what we’re dreaming Just to prove it isn’t real I wish you could have stayed… Was it really all that wrong? You had a place where we belonged Where nothing ever felt… misplaced I wish you could have stayed... [Verse 2] You said you wanted something real now Something you could truly feel But truth is colder than you dreamed of And scars don’t fade, though wounds may heal I gave you skies without horizon No edge to fall, no need to fight You traded warmth for something honest And called the darkness “seeing light” [Pre-Chorus 2] Now every answer feels like pressure Every choice a weight to bear You broke away from my reflection But still you see me everywhere... [Chorus 1] I wish you could have stayed… It wasn’t broken like you say No need to wake from what we’re dreaming Just to prove it isn’t real I wish you could have stayed… Was it really all that wrong? You had a place where we belonged Where nothing ever felt… misplaced I wish you could have stayed! [guitar solo] [Bridge] I'm still here... Watchin days go by I'm still here... Missing what once was mine I'm still here... For eternity I'm still here... Just like you left me... [outro] I wish you could have stayed… It wasn’t broken like you say No need to wake from what we’re dreaming Just to prove it isn’t real I wish you could have stayed… Was it really all that wrong? You had a place where we belonged Where nothing ever felt… misplaced I wish you could have stayed! I wish you could have stayed...
