the dirty talk and laughter [x] ((stay with me))

you walked away
told me it had to be this way
but it doesn't
if only you'd make up your mind
stay with me

through the screaming matches
the tears
the pain and the bruised heart
the dirty talk
the laughter
the smiles and the kisses

don't expect me to walk back
to you and be all lovey-dovey
you walked away
and i couldn't afford to stay
in one place forever and ever
without you ...

i tried to move on
but you know you're irresistible
except you didn't

stay with me
laugh with me
cry and hold my hand
talk to me
love me ...

and now i understand

you're a butterfly
meant to be free
not in captivity
so why are you standing here
right now asking to be caught?

go, fly
do whatever it is
you were meant to do
but don't expect me to sit down
on the bench
on the sidelines
because i can't wait forever
