Stay

[00:00.00] I'm caught between
[00:18.22] The future and right now
[00:21.32] Of what's to come
[00:24.55] And how to smile, now
[00:28.12] Sing me a song
[00:30.86] With lyrics so profound
[00:33.60] Is that too much
[00:36.90] To ask you, anyhow
[00:40.45] My way with words is rather crude and blunt at best
[00:46.68] I traumatize your heart, then ask for sentiment
[00:52.99] The other side of this pillows reeks of salt and spoiled dreams
[00:59.05] My arrogance, avoiding guilt, "No way! That wasn't me!"
[01:05.64] To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed
[01:11.54] A chance to reconcile; to praise what makes us different
[01:17.74] We do not need one's validation to know we exist
[01:23.84] Perpetually bent to run whenever we should STAY
[01:42.38] So stitch me up, I've had enough of bleeding my heart dry
[01:48.54] You will pull through. You always do. I'm not a savior this time
[01:54.71] For all to see, and what will be, my glory days are gone
[02:01.07] Replaced with more, "time's" just rewards, understanding for all
[02:07.02] I'll be there for you
[02:12.72] 'Cause I no longer need for me
[02:18.94] I rest my soul in something else
[02:25.06] That we will always try to run away from
[02:56.97] I cannot deny that I've neglected my own wants
[03:02.99] I've questioned long enough
[03:06.08] I'm unprepared for what's to come
[03:09.12] But if honesty is the best policy then
[03:13.42] I'll be damned
[03:15.58] For holding my own tongue and sparing words
[03:19.48] Has made amends
[03:24.10] Friend and lover
[03:28.00] And then
[03:30.16] Companion to the end
[03:34.83] The end
[03:38.36] To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed
[03:44.72] A chance to reconcile; to praise what makes us different
[03:50.95] We do not need one's validation to know we exist
[03:57.15] Perpetually bent to run whenever we should STAY
[04:12.38]
