Stay

[Verse 1]
Determination to leave fills your heart
But I don't know if you're strong enough
It is a treacherous place outside
That's why I'm trying to close it off

Not the first to fall, but I hope you're the last
Once you leave me here, there's no coming back
Stay with me, my child
I will raise you as my own, my own

[Chorus]
Refuse to let it take you like it took all the rest
The nightmare too familiar replays 'till nothing's left
Why wrap your heart in peril when we can hide away?
Refuse to let it take you, refuse to let it take you

[Post-Chorus]
So won't you stay?
So won't you stay?

[Verse 2]
I want to keep on protecting your soul
And if you let me, I'll keep you safe
These ruins, they can turn into our home
Please turn back now, it's still not too late

But if you keep on down this dangerous path
I can't shield you from their burning wrath
Stay with me, my child
I will raise you as my own, my own

[Chorus]
Refuse to let it take you like it took all the rest
The nightmare too familiar replays 'till nothing's left
Why wrap your heart in peril when we can hide away?
Refuse to let it take you, refuse to let it take you

[Post-Chorus]
So won't you stay?
So won't you stay?

[Bridge]
Rest your head my child and just stay a while
There is no rush
Close your eyes and sleep
Hope your dreams are sweet like butterscotch

[Chorus]
Refuse to let it take you like it took all the rest
The nightmare too familiar replays 'till nothing's left
Why wrap your heart in peril when we can hide away?
Refuse to let it take you, refuse to let it take you

[Post-Chorus]
So won't you stay?
So won't you stay?

[Outro]
Stay
Stay
Won't you stay?
Stay
