Ellise Huston - I Would Ask You To Stay

I would ask you to stay
But I'm scared of what that means
So I let you walk away

A broken link on a chain
Don't know why I'm so cavalier with these feelings
I just throw away

I'm growing weary of the angels
Where were they when I made all these mistakes
That kept me in this place
Like the trigger on a pistol
I shoot for love but can't seem to aim
I'm always out of range

I guess I'll make myself comfortable
In the chaos of wanting more
Sometimes there is no cure
For losing the thing that you're searching for

And when the love is unrequited
I'll sit by the door and
Hope one day you'll open it

But if hope really is a fickle flame
Is it one that's gonna burn out
Just the same

I'm growing weary of the devils
They're always there when I make all these mistakes
That keep me in this place
Like the trigger on a pistol
I shoot for love but can't seem to aim
I'm always out of range

I guess I'll make myself comfortable
In the chaos of wanting more
Sometimes there is no cure
For losing the thing that you're searching for

And I would ask you to stay
But the whispers in my ear
Say I should just
Let you walk away
