Stay
Gracie Abrams Lyrics

You told me something when I left but I don't remember
I cannot recall what you said to me before I left, maybe because I was too lost in thought and unable to pay attention

Maybe 'cause all I could do then was stare at the floor
I was filled with so many emotions that I didn't know how to express, leaving me feeling numb and detached

I held myself 'cause you wouldn't, all wrapped in my sweatshirt
I tried to comfort myself by wrapping your sweatshirt around me because you were not there for me emotionally

Wonder if you even noticed that that one was yours
I wore your sweatshirt in hopes that you would notice, but maybe you didn't and that makes me feel even more alone

And maybe I should've but I never told you, "I'm sorry"
I know I should have apologized but I could never find the right words or courage to say it outright

Know that I tried but my words always got in the way
I attempted to express myself but my thoughts were too jumbled and my words too inadequate to truly convey my feelings

Could you hold me without any talking?
I just want to be held by you, without any spoken words or explanations, just feeling your presence close to me

We could try to go back where we started
Maybe we can try to reset and return to how we first were, free of the complications and heartbreak that've ensued

I don't even have to stay
I don't necessarily have to stick around or continue with a relationship that's causing such pain and confusion

If I woke up with you in the morning
Waking up beside you in the morning would be ideal and may erase the memories of the turmoil that's happened between us

I'd forget all the ways that we're broken
Being with you would distract me from our relationship's flaws and where we've fallen apart

I don't care if you've changed
Despite any changes in you or our dynamic, I still deeply care about you and how we're connected

I don't even have to stay
I don't have to stay for both of our well-beings; sometimes moving on can be the best thing for both of us

I don't remember the last time I heard from your sister
It's been a long time since I've had any contact with your family, including your sister, and it's left me feeling removed and disconnected

Didn't expect to but I sorta thought that I would
Although I didn't anticipate it, I had hoped to connect with your sister at some point, but that has yet to happen

Wish I could tell you by now that I felt more indifferent
I want to let you know that, despite everything that's happened, I still care deeply about you and our relationship

Catch myself thinking about you more than I should
You still occupy much of my thoughts, despite my attempts to move on and forget

And maybe I should've but I never told you I miss you
I miss you deeply, but I haven't found the strength to admit it to you and maybe don't even know if you feel the same way

I almost said it but don't know if you feel the same
I came close to confessing my feelings for you, but was unsure if you reciprocated them, leaving me to wonder and possibly never know
