Текст песни I Only Wanted - Mariah Carey

Doesn't it ever stay?
Must it always fade away?
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real?

Farewell, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when
I opened up my eyes

I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you

Oh, once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

I, I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when
I opened up my eyes

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be
The one to get me through the night

I only wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes, oh
Doesn't it ever stay?
I only wanted you to
Stay
