Couldn't Make You stay

I gave my all...

But you still walked away...

I wore your favorite shirt each night

Held my tongue through every fight

Changed my world to fit your way

But you were never gonna stay

I tried I cried I begged I prayed

Loved you deep but love still frayed

Gave my heart you walked away

I couldn't make you stay

I smiled through tears you couldn't see

Lost myself to keep you free

Took the blame I played the part

While you were breaking my soft heart

I tried I cried I begged I prayed

Loved you deep but love still frayed

Gave my heart you walked away

I couldn't make you stay

I held the fire you watched it die

I asked for truth you gave a lie

Now every word you didn't say

Still echoes in my yesterdays

I tried I cried I begged I prayed

Loved you deep but love still frayed

Gave my heart you walked away

I couldn't make you stay

Couldn't make you stay... no...

Though I gave it all away...
