Just Stay
Give me a break
For my own sake
I adore the time we spent
You made my heart less bent
Yes indeed...oh, yes indeed..
I am the tiger without his feed
Hope you know that I must vent
Found myself unable to pay rent
Give me a break
For my own sake
What will wishful thinking lead?
Will it plant a seed of mere greed?
I need to cope with these emotions
I need to clearly cross several oceans
Just to get to you
Just to be with you
Stay here with me for a little while
Can't you stay? Oh, can't you stay?
I will smile as I run the extra mile
Can't you stay? Are you there today?
Here I am, falling away into oblivion
Here am I, Lord, I accept Your union
Sheer fear got me shedding a tear
It appears that you are full of cheer
Can't you stay?
Are you working hard to remain with me today?
Can't you stay?
Are you okay? I wish you well in all you do, okay?
Streams of sweat trickle down my weary face
I am at the seams compared to your grace
Throw away all negative notions and please pray
Happiness and faith will come our way day by day
Freeze away the many burns of my heartache
Don't tease me with your foot on the brake
Still, broken once more and I don't know exactly why
Sometimes, I wish I can live free without wanting to die
Can't you just stay? Why are you going your own way?
I am as boisterous as a mockingbird today and I hear only silent dismay
Can't you stay? Can't you stay? What more can I say?
Both of us are as wondrous as several rainstorms in the middle of May
You're like a stable, reliable aquaduct in my heart always
I am but a ruined cable in the streets of loneliness these days
I'm not lying once it comes to wanting to stay here forever
I am a wandering lamb in the fields of faithless endeavor
Don't let guilt manifest in you that hurts you true
Don't you ever regret what we've been through
Oh dear, your loveless guilt trips
Is written on your trembling lips
Good grief...
Why can't you just stay?
Give me relief...
Wipe away our dismay
I fear the worst more often than not...hope is what I sought!
You are truly the best thing I never had, which really says quite a lot...
I glaze over the maze of my thoughts
Wish I can forget everything to start all over again
I gaze at the table full of alcoholic shots
And I wish I can numb away my distress in my pen
But, then again, this anguish
Hasn't left me yet as I have wished
You finally realized that you needed me by your side for one last time
Now, I have recognized your vacillation, which was fairly far from sublime
Give me a break
For our own sake
Can't you just stay?
Can't you not walk away?
Don't walk away
Don't stray away
Just stay...just stay...
Everything will be okay
If our lives are at stake,
Will you stay awake?
If I had a break due to heartache,
Would you mend me?
Would you care for me?
Would you set me free?
Please abide by my side...
Life's not always a joyride...
Come to me without your pride
Will you vanish away my disdain?
Will you wish away my eyes' rain?
