Willing

I’m willing to stay
But, I want to go home today
I’m willing to stay
Not for you to perilously stray

I’m willing to stay
But, here, I want to let you know
Everything is okay
But, you don’t listen to my soul

Fearlessly willing to truly change
Just for you to undo the loveless side of me
Spiraling madly and it’s strange 
Dust we are and I’m willing to be lonely happy

I’m willing to be with you
If I’m without you, I’m worthless
I’m killing to be so true
If I’m without you, I’m in distress

I’m willing to stay
But, here, I want to let you know
Everything is okay
But, you don’t listen to my soul

Fearlessly willing to truly change
Just for you to undo the loveless side of me
Spiraling madly and it’s strange 
Dust we are and I’m willing to be lonely happy

I’m willing to stay
But, here, I want to let you know
Everything is okay
But, you don’t listen to my soul

Fearlessly willing to truly change
Just for you to undo the loveless side of me
Spiraling madly and it’s strange 
Dust we are and I’m willing to be lonely happy

Now, I’m the one you adore
Somehow, I’m willing to take the risk and stay instead of leave
I vow I’ll love you forevermore 
And somehow, I’m having a difficult time forgiving myself and struggling to simply breathe 

I’m willing to stay here with you, you
As long as you and I undo this stagnant wretchedness 
I’m willing to go with you like you do
If you’d just go home with me someday…be still in gladness
