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

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

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 (I know that)
I wanted you to stay

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 till nothing's left
Forgive me now if I can say what I never said

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

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 (I know that)
I wanted you to stay

I wanted you to stay
(Stay)
I wanted you to stay
I wanted you to stay
Stay

Oh, they say: You're better off
As if it's gonna make it easy to move on
