Stay a Little Longer

You left your jacket on my chair

Still smells like you, I keep it there

We barely had the time to know

What we were building, soft and slow

I replay every word you said

Like it could bring you back again

Don’t leave me now, don’t fade away

I’ve got so much I couldn’t say

We were just learning how to be

You barely even saw all of me

Don’t close the door, don’t walk away

I swear I’d make you want to stay

If you could feel what’s left in me

You’d turn around eventually

Your coffee cup still on the sink

I catch myself before I think

Two weeks felt like a year or more

Now silence fills what was before

I know I sound a little lost

But love like this is worth the cost

Don’t leave me now, don’t fade away

I’ve got so much I couldn’t say

We were just learning how to be

You barely even saw all of me

Don’t close the door, don’t walk away

I swear I’d make you want to stay

If you could feel what’s left in me

You’d turn around eventually

If I had one more night

I’d show you all the light

I kept inside for you

But never got to prove

Don’t leave me now, don’t fade away

We’re just too short to end this way

You were the start of something real

And I still don’t know how to heal

Don’t close the door, don’t walk away

I know you’ll think of me someday

And when you do, I hope you see

You should’ve stayed here next to me
