I'm sorry I missed you calling on the other line
I'm sorry for all the times I was not enough
Could I ask for a little bit more time?
I can't understand the words you're saying
I don't understand why your eyes can't look at mine
Please,
Would you turn around?
I would sell my soul for a bit more time
Please,
Would you stay a little longer?
Why?
Is it getting hard to breathe?
Why?
Do the wheels of your luggage bag
Rattle so loudly on the gravel?
Why?
Is there another hand reaching for yours?
Wait, stay with me a little more.
Wait, all I wanted was to love you.
Wait, I would die a thousand times for you.
Wait, they don't love you like I love you.
Wait,
"They can't love you like I love you!"
