Lyrics

You couldn't Stay
You went away
You wandered around
Nowhere to be found at all.

How can I stay
Maybe I'll go away
yet someone I know
said I shouldnt go away.

Holding a thread
that goes nowhere
I pull and unravel
I can't pretend I don't care.

You couldn't stay
Farewell I say
Someone that I know
Said I shouldn't go away.
