Why Won't You Stay

American Music Club

Will this night fulfill all the promises 
And bury us in peace?
Will it leave us free and forgetful 
Or at least bring some sleep?

Your eyes don't catch the little things 
As they narrow on your fall 
I'm checking your pulse 'cause you're so quiet 
I'm kissing you, but you don't feel it 

Why do you do this to me? 
Showing me all that I'm good for 
Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel 
She was the most beautiful cloud 
That ever passed before the face of a girl 
Seems like nothing's too good for this life 
Some things are too good for this world 

And our names and our faces 
Well, they're just spare change 
In memory of a soul 
Kept dropping spare change 

Why won't you stay
In memory of a little girl
Who was far too much in love with the world 
And who didn't really want to stick around for the end?

Why won't you stay?
