Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm caught between the future and right now Of what's to come and how to smile now Sing me a song with lyrics so profound Is that too much to ask you, anyhow? My way with words is rather crude and blunt at best I traumatize your heart, than ask for sentiment The other side of this pillow reeks of salt and spoiled dreams My arrogance avoiding guilt, "no way, that wasn't me!" [Chorus] To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed A chance to reconcile, to praise what makes us different We do not need one's validation to know we exist Perpentually bent to run whenever we should stay [Verse 2] So stitch me up, I've had enough of bleeding my heart dry You will pull through, you always do, I'm not a savior this time For all to see and what will be, my glory days are gone Replaced with more, "time's" just rewards, understanding for all [Chorus 2] I'll be there for you 'Cause I no longer need for me I rest my soul in something else That we will always try to run away from [Bridge] I cannot deny that I've neglected my own wants I've questioned long enough, I'm unprepared for what's to come But if honestly is the best policy, then I'll be damned For holding my own tongue and sparing words has made amends Friend and lover And then, companion to the end The end [Chorus] To my right and left (I'll be there) I find a common thread we missed (For you) A chance to reconcile ('Cause I no longer) To praise what makes us different (Need for me) We do not need one's (I rest my soul) Validation to know we exist (In something else) Perpetually bent to run (That we will always) Whenever we should stay (Try to run away from)
