Stay

Every singer's always singing about someone else
Another bleeding heart, another brand new start
But this time I'm singing all about myself
I made it be so lonely
Even my piano wants to cry
These arms weren't there to hold you
And when I was home I was miles away
Now you've got every right to go girl but I'm standing here
I'm begging you
Stay just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
There are things I didn't ever say or do
Like I would die without you
Didn't mean I didn't want to
But every song I ever sang I sang for you
And every night away from you
Knowing you'd be home's what got me through
Tore up all the pictures of our wasted yesterdays
I'm fighting for tomorrow, standing here
I'm begging you
Stay just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
Stay
I know I've done you wrong
It'd be easier to move on
I'm telling you
I'm begging you
I'm pleading
I'm screaming
Stay just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
Stay
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Stay
Just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you walk away
