Stay for a While

[Verse 1]
Would you like to stay for a while?
Though I may ask you to go
Would you like to stay for a while?
Though I may put on a show

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm not leading you around
Don't believe me

[Chorus]
'Cause I am a coward with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long

[Verse 2]
Would you like to stay for the night
And every night after this?
I may push and put up a fight
But it is you I would miss

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Should I push away too strong
And you leave me

[Chorus]
'Cause I am a coward, with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long

[Bridge]
All the things I do to keep from looking
Looking out, not looking in, so I don't lose my footing
Don't feel good to be unsteady, don't feel good to fall
Lord, I am not ready, but are we ever ready at all?

[Chorus]
Coward, with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long
