I Can't Stay This Time

from Fight Left In Me by Emma Cook

/

about

I think many of us have been in relationships that we know aren’t right, but we stay for whatever reason, for comfort or our own insecurities. This song takes us to that moment where we make the choice to leave because we know we don’t love the person the way they deserve to be loved.

lyrics

Please don’t open your eyes
I want to stay a little longer
Form a picture in my mind
Before I have to leave forever

Cuz I can’t stay this time
This kind of love it isn’t mine
I have strayed too long
Out of the lines
I tried to make believe
But there’s no room to breath
No I can’t stay this time

You are good and kind
Yeah you are the best of us
I am never satisfied
You can’t compete with this wanderlust

Cuz I can’t stay this time
This kind of love it isn’t mine
I have strayed too long
Out of the lines
I tried to make believe
But there’s no room to breath
No I can’t stay this time

I have a lump in my throat
Where is my fucking coat
That’s all she wrote
