To Stay

I don’t want to know where you’ve been

But I find myself forming the words

And I’ve already guessed

I don’t need to hear you confess

I don’t want to hear your evasive reply

Every sound feels like a slap

Every word lands on a bruise

I feel so tired so confused

And this weight is awful heavy

Been carrying it around for a while

Will it ever, will it ever get lighter

If I live in denial

Well it’s been days now and the days go by so long

And it’s been an effort to keep myself strong

I have to find the place where I belong

I need to believe that I wasn’t wrong

To stay

It’s a cold ride home from your place

I can feel your lingering kiss

And the fuel that drives me is hope

But I feel the pull of the rope

And this weight is awful heavy

Been carrying it around for a while

Will it ever, will it ever get lighter

If I live in denial

Well it’s been days now and the days go by so long

And it’s been an effort to keep myself strong

I have to find the place where I belong

I need to believe that I wasn’t wrong

To stay

To stay
