Stay

Darling you don’t hold me close the way you used to do

And I wonder what you’re thinking when I’m reaching out for you

You’re trying to be patient, yea you’re trying to be kind

But I know that you’re still running from the demons in my mind

But I promise this thing in my head

It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals

That are out of whack in my mind

Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine

That I’m drowning in to stay alive

I am often unkempt and unreasonable

But I swear to God that this is me trying

I’m begging you stay, I’m begging you stay

I know the weight of my sins is a heavy thing to hold

But I am not yours to carry, I can lift it on my own

We’re tired here together from these long and lonely nights

Where your sighing sounds like screaming, I’m trying to make it out alive

But I promise this thing in my head

It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals

That are out of whack in my mind

Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine

That I’m drowning in to stay alive

I am often unkempt and unreasonable

But I swear to God that this is me trying

I’m begging you stay, I’m begging you stay

Don’t give up on me (don’t give up on me)

And I won’t give up on you (I won’t give up on you)

Don’t give up on me (don’t give up on me)

And I won’t give up on you (I won’t give up)

But I promise this thing in my head

It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals

That are out of whack in my mind

Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine

That I’m drowning in to stay alive

I am often unkempt and unreasonable

But I swear to God that this is me trying

I’m begging you stay, I’m begging you stay

So darling won’t you hold me close the way you used to do
