Stay
Thom Antcliff
For the last four years I've lived with your shadow over my head
Your phantom has been tucked away
But still the thought of your stirs inside my mind
And I know there's nothing I can do to bring you back
Or change the past
But if I keep going on this way
Dredging up the failures of what I once considered happiness
This concept of myself wont last
I need to give up your ghost
Find a way home
Break this mould
Bring back what I need most
A sense of shelter
An escape from this cold
And I never felt like I belonged to this earth
But you're the one that was taken away
And I wish you could stay
I wish you'd have stayed
But it was never meant to be
More than a distant memory
And I can't find sleep
Without you in my mind
