[Verse 1]
How can I bear
To wake up and you're not there?
What will I do
When I turn and reach for you?
I lay my tears on the windowsill
I'll only cry 'til I get over you
But how long will it take me?
Won't you save me?
[Chorus]
And stay
Just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger
(To take all this and)
Stay just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Please stay
[Verse 2]
Will I ever smile again
When losing love takes my best friend?
To wonder where, wonder how
Wonder what you're doing
One more night just before you break me
Hold me safely
[Chorus]
And stay (please, won't you stay with me?)
Just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger
(To take all this and)
Stay (just a little more time 'til I can find)
Just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Please stay
[Bridge]
So, I'll be a big girl and close my eyes
As you walk away, don't say goodbye
God save me
Please won't you
[Chorus]
Stay (please, won't you stay with me?)
Just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger
(Take all this and)
Stay (just a little more time 'til I can find)
Just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Won't you stay?
Just a little bit longer
