"What Made You Stay" lyrics

"What Made You Stay"

The pain inside, it smothers me
I can't believe I hold this jealousy
Every breath I take it buries me
Leave me in the dirt and let it set me free

Tell me is this all there is, will I even be missed?
Trapped inside the dark what made you stay
Tell me this can't all be it, how did I let it slip?
Trapped inside the dark what made you stay?

I turned my back on you, and got lost in my thoughts
Late nights alone telling myself what I'm not
You didn't turn away cause you decided to stay
I can't believe I let my demons escape

Letting you down, so commonplace
I never wanted to be someone you can't count on
Letting you down, selfish and effortlessly letting you down
You fear what you attract

Dancing around inside my head now and again
Delusions of a person that I could've been
Hostile and vile, selfish with a smile
You stuck around, believed I was worth your while

Stay, never look back on your silhouette

Tell me is this all there is?
There's no need to remind me, I know what was said
And I'm buried in my head again
I've made my own mistakes, it's time to write the wrongs and start again
What made you stay?
