I Hope You'll Stay
By Alyssa Nishimoto
Lie to me.
Tell me you don't feel a thing
When I put my arms around you, kiss you on the cheek,
And say, "Hello."
Your love is getting worse, but your fear is much better.
Got a million things to say, 'stead you talk about the weather.
If you love me, won't you say it? If you love me, won't you say it?
Lie to me.
Tell me that you met some girl.
She's all you've ever wanted, yet we're standing in the rain
Afraid to leave.
You're so beautiful and guarded, you're so fragile, you're so tragic.
I promise my heart won't breathe a word,
So if you love me won't you say it? If you love me, won't you say it?
This town's not big enough for the two of us,
And I came here to let you know
Some things are worth a second chance, and
Maybe what I'm trying to say is
I hope you'll stay.
We're all okay.
Most days I don't feel a thing.
Just a body in motion, salvaged parts to highest bid.
We fall so hard.
We are beautiful and guarded, we're so fragile, we're so tragic.
But in the end,
If you love me, won't you say it? If you love me, won't you say it?
This town's not big enough for the two of us,
And I came here to let you go.
Some things are worth a second chance, and
Maybe what I'm trying to say is
I hope you'll stay.
Lie to me.
Tell me you don't feel a thing
When I put my arms around you, kiss you on the cheek,
And say, "Goodbye."
