If I Stay

You give me all the reasons why
To give it all another try
You say our love will never die
If only I would stay

You say it had to be that way
You justify the price we paid
And promise me a brighter day
If only I would stay

I hear your words but in your eyes
I see the shadow of your lies
The truth will never be denied
As long as I should stay

I count the hours still before us
Weighing both sides of the chorus
Wondering what still lies before us
If only I would stay

I wait for one more reason why
To give our love another try
A reason I cannot deny
To make me want to stay

I wait and hope you will succeed
With one last justifying deed
That turns into a crying need
If only I would stay

I hear your words but in your eyes
I see the shadow of your lies
The truth will never be denied
As long as I should stay

I count the hours still before us
Weighing both sides of the chorus
Wondering what still lies before us
If only I would stay
