Trevor Lawrence - I Only Wanted lyrics

[Verse 1] Doesn't it ever stay Must it always fade away Couldn't love ever be Something tangible and real Farewell, fairweather friend Abandonment returns to taunt me again [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I was caught in your masquerade Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil But it just seemed so easy to Open up myself to you Once more into the wind The embers scatter And the chill settles in [Chorus][x2] [Outro] I only wanted you To be there when I Opened up my eyes Oh Doesn't it ever stay? I only wanted you to Stay
