Never Stay

I say I'll show up

Then I vanish by the second call

I feel the love

But never let it land at all

You said you'd take the mess

But I don't clean, I just pretend

I always leave things halfway

Swear I'll fix it in the end

I'm always chasing silence

When I need to be held

I burn every bridge just

To prove I built it myself

I never stay Even when I want to

I'll find a way To lose what I hold on to

You see gold, I see rust

You say us, I say just

I'll never stay

Even when I need to

There's a note I wrote

Still sitting in my phone

Said I'd send it last December

But I couldn't make it known

Every finish line feels like a dare I never take

Every time I get too close I find a brand new way to break

I keep meaning to change

But the version of me that you need

Feels like someone I'll never be

I never stay Even when I want to

I'll find a way To lose what I hold on to

You see gold, I see rust You say us, I say just

I'll never stay Even when I need to

I keep meaning to change

But the version of me that you need

Feels like someone I'll never be

I never stay Even when I want to

I'll find a way To lose what I hold on to

You see gold, I see rust

You say us, I say just

I never stay

Even when I need to
