You Will Not Stay Lyrics - Singles - Air This Side Of Caution

I thought you knew you were mine 

The other night, we sealed our fate in the bed we made 

Couldn't read your mind 

All laid out; a picture of you 

On your bed there was a spread of all you've read 

The poison of truth 

All the movies and CDs stare at me 

A wall of your life 

And now you're telling me that what you need 

Is so very different from what I am 

And now you will not stay 

No matter if I should say 

That when I slept breathing the nape of your neck 

It was the only time I felt awake 

All your tears are sweet like saline 

They streak your face but can't displace all your grace 

You float like a queen 

All the words we have heard are so absurb 

But I think you believe just a bit 

In love's receipe, there's no guarantee and the warranty 

Expires as soon as you stray 

And now you will not stay 

No matter if I should say 

That I hoped you'd be the one I would hold 

As we laid and watched each other grow old 

Now my love will be buried untold 

Because I can't let it go
