Can I Stay?

What happens when you fall in love
with the wrong guy?
In the beginning he makes you smile,
and in the end he makes you cry.

She met this boy and fell for him
but it all happened way too fast,
she was worried and had doubts
but always hoped they would last.

Unfortunately, he was a pathological liar,
and her dreams never came true.
She knew she had to forget those dreams,
but she couldn't give up on them, too.

She started feeling useless and pathetic,
thought nobody would ever care again.
Gave up on herself when he gave up on her,
she hadn't felt this bad since she was ten.

Little did she know someone did love her.
This guy that she calls her best friend,
has always been there by her side
and thinks that her heart he can mend.

He is wonderful, so she gives them a chance
but she doesn't feel the same way.
He loves her way too much to let her go,
he hurts a lot but he stays anyway.

He makes her smile and laugh,
but she's still in love with the wrong guy
who remembered her once again
and confessed he doesn't want to say goodbye.

She's convinced and goes back to him,
to explain why, she writes a long letter,
she's sorry for leaving her partner,
she thinks the letter will make it better.

''Why did you leave like that?
I wanted to give you the whole damn sky,
I'd do anything to please you,
yet you chose the guy that makes you cry.

But if he can make you happy,
maybe that's the way it should be.
I am happy for you, even if that means,
you will soon forget about me.''

After a while she realizes her mistake,
she no longer believes in fate.
She prays for a second chance
but she is afraid it's already too late.

She knocks on his door again and again
he opens the door and looks in her eyes.
She's standing there, outside his house,
she shivers, she apologizes, she cries.

''I know I don't deserve someone like you,
I broke your heart and it's not okay,
but I realized that I really do love you,
so tell me please, can I stay?''
