Stay

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!

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

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

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

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

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
