It Couldn’t Make You Stay

I moved mountains

I wrote this song

Tried to see

What went wrong

It couldn’t make you stay

I rode the wave

I stood up for you

Tried to be

Did what I could do

It couldn’t make you stay

Hearts on fire extinguish with time

Set new rules to be outlined

Speaking words told one story

Certainly not a blaze of glory

I held your hand

I touched your heart

That made us

See a spark

It couldn’t make you stay
