  • Your clothes in the dryer
    Your hair on the shower wall
    Your toothbrush is too much
    Your shoes empty in the hall
    Your keys on the counter
    Your dirty dish in the sink
    Please, don't make me see these things

    The books on your shelf that you never read
    The hunting knife you kept by your bed
    The flowers you dried and tied up with twine
    Suspended from the ceiling

    You tell me you love me, like it'll be the last time
    Like you're playing out, the end of a storyline
    I say I love you too, because it's true
    What else am I supposed to do?
    Maybe bar the door when you move to leave

    I think you mean what you say
    When you say you wanna die
    I think you mean what you say
    When you say you want to stay alive

    Quit your job
    Cut your hair
    Get a dog
    Change your name
    Change your mind
    Change your ways
    Give them time
    Go back to school, go back to sleep
    Tell the secret you can't keep
    Begin, be done
    Break a vow, make a new one
    Call me if you need a friend, or never talk to me again

    But please stay
    But please stay
    But please stay
    But please stay Writer/s: Lucy Dacus
