I Wish (I Had Stayed)
It was the most profound moment of being away,
 It stuck to me like the wind and the rain,
 There were pink skies and flowers 
 And a pretty girl in a pink dress,
 And she spoke to me in fairy tales,
 But her head was a mess.
 And her pink dress was ruined
 By either her teardrops or the rain
 The moment I told her I didn’t feel the same.
 
 I made my baby cry,
 I know I lost the most perfect baby,
 No, but our lives lost our rhyme,
 We couldn’t live our lives apart being just fine.
 
 And I saw her from the trees
 As I swung from the sky,
 She was sitting in the grass,
 And I knew she would cry
 When she looked up to her pink sky
 And I whispered my goodbyes.
 
 I knew I lost her and everything she was,
 I wanted her more than a married man does,
 I wanted to hold her every night until she fell asleep,
 But suddenly my promises I just couldn’t keep.
 
 I made my baby cry,
 I know I lost the most perfect baby,
 No, but our lives lost our rhyme,
 Sometimes I wish we had more time.
 
 And like how the clouds get in the way of the moon,
 I just couldn’t see its light from the comfort of my room,
 And never with ease, the tides have changed,
 Soon the distance of our love rearranged.
 
 In a forest, in a tree by a stream,
 In the waters, objects reflected are closer than they seem,
 Seems our love lost its touch,
 From too close and too far away,
 With all that I had I couldn’t stay.
 
 I made my baby say goodbye,
 I know I lost the most perfect baby,
 No, but our lives lost our rhyme,
 With all my heart, I wish I could change my mind.
 
 See a girl in a dress running through the field,
 I wish her heart could easily be healed,
 I remembered her yesterday,
 Today her scent fades away,
 With all that I am, I wish I had stayed.
