For a Friend by Kayak Jones Lyrics

[Intro]
I wish you could have stayed
The storm in your head always hinted at by the rain
Held back in your eyes and you just left without any goodbyes

[Verse 1]
You're not weak
You're not heartless
I hate the way they think of you
If holding hands could bring you back
Then my steadfast grip will hold until my bones turn to dust
And then we're forced to let

[Chorus]
Stay awake
You should've said you weren't okay
And I'll bear the weight
You carved in my heart
Forever you'll always remain
I wish you could have stayed
[Verse 2]
I think that's what you wanted
Shedding doubts and egos for much more than
Shallow relationships built on fabricated friendships
I know you feel lost, but that's not how it is
That's now how it is

[Chorus]
Stay awake
You should've said you weren't okay
And I'll bear the weight
You carved in my heart
Forever you'll always remain
I wish you could have stayed
I wish you could have stayed
