Stay

Look down, and I see the road below me crumble
I'm falling down again
I was holding on so tight to hoping you would last the night
But when the sun goes down, the darkness has the final say

But this time, although it's the last time
You see me shaking, but I'll hold my head up high
I would give anything if you could only stay

I let myself be washed ashore so I won't have to float any more
I don't have the strength to swim against a raging tide
The waves, they crash against the rocks and amongst the noise I almost forgot
To reach a hand towards you and to wish you a goodnight

But this time, although it's the last time
You see me shaking, but I'll hold my head up high
This feels too certain. Why is it so permanent?
Though I know all too well this is the only way
I would give anything if you could only stay

But this time I know it's the last time
You'll see me shaking but I'll hold my head up high
You won't find me stuck on what's behind me
I'll push myself from my knees and I'll face the day
But I'd still give everything if you could only stay
