I Can't Stay

[Verse] I wake up every morning, feeling hollow, Trapped in a loop of tears and silent screams, Your words are like shadows that follow, Haunting my heart and tearing at the seams. We drift like ghosts in a house of echoes, Living in memories that feel like lies, In the quiet moments, my heart knows, We're both just clinging to our goodbyes. [Chorus] But I can't leave and I can't stay, Caught in this endless, aching gray. We're prisoners of our own design, Bound by a love that crossed the line. In this cage of longing and regret, We dance around the words unsaid. [Verse] The days bleed into nights, and I wonder, How long we can pretend it's all okay, Each promise like a distant thunder, Rolling in, then quickly fades away. Your eyes are storms I can't weather, Yet I find myself lost within their gaze, The ties that bind us, hold us together, Are frayed and burning in a lover's blaze. [Chorus] But I can't leave and I can't stay, Caught in this endless, aching gray. We're prisoners of our own design, Bound by a love that crossed the line. In this cage of longing and regret, We dance around the words unsaid. [Instrumental solo] [Bridge] The silence grows louder with each passing day, A symphony of sorrow we both compose, In this endless dance, we lose our way, Yet neither one of us lets go. Dreams of freedom feel like distant stars, Fading as the night consumes the light, Our love is a wound that never scars, A battle we fight with no end in sight. [Chorus] But I can't leave and I can't stay, Caught in this endless, aching gray. We're prisoners of our own design, Bound by a love that crossed the line. In this cage of longing and regret, We dance around the words unsaid.
