If Only the Love Stayed

If only the love stayed Love of devotion and grit Why didn't the Love stay, The Love I see best fit You were here until you weren't Pushed through with all your might You stayed until you couldn't Maybe you were right I ask for a lot, but I give so little I understand you leaving Maybe I'm just too brittle I wanted you here, in my arms and my head I wish I could tell you, but some things are better left unsaid If only the love stayed We would be true and free If only the love stayed The unlawful love of you and me
