Gallow Wood - Stay

Seconds pass and life moves on
But nothing will ever be the same
A hospital bed, and the space in my head
Are all available now since your demise
And I can still see your eyes, and feel your breath on my spine
I'm terrified of what's to come
Lay an angel to rest, keep your words in my chest
Sleep while I live in distress

If life isn't fair, then death is just cruel
They'll take you away but I don't care
I'll try to be honest, but they'll tell me it's grief
I shout to the Gods I'll sleep with you beneath

Blood on my hands, and guilt in my veins
Tell me it doesn't end like this?
How come you must go? Why can't it be me?
I wish that we could swap our fates
That spark in your eyes, they'd never miss mine
They'll punish my crimes but no justice is served
Forgive me my dear, for my head wasn't clear
I'm coming to meet you in the end

Tell me why I get to stay?
I don't know why I miss the pouring rain
