Stay

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Catch me

Stop me

I know the thought has crossed your mind

So just do it

Time’s not waiting

Chase me to my gate and make me change my mind

It’s for real this time

This is your last chance to take so you decide

How this goes

If I go…

Don’t be your worst enemy again

Don’t let me slip away once again

Because this time I won’t be coming back

I’ve got a one-way ticket, nothing’s holding me back

Unless you’ve got something else to say?

Unless you can push your pride out of your way

And say the words we both know you’ve held inside

Or is this just goodbye?

Pre-Chorus:

If you’d just give me a reason

You know that I would stay

It’s now or never

Don’t let fear trap the words that you’re dying to say…

Chorus:

I need you to want me to stay

Tell me you need me to stay

Because I would run to you without a second thought

Turn around and leave this airport

With you, if you’d just say

You want me to stay.

Verse 2:

It’s always been me

Who takes the leap and lays my heart down for you

And I’ve shown you

That I will give you everything I am

All I need is honesty

All I ask for is that you return my feelings

Show me that you won’t let me leave…

(Stop me!)

Pre-Chorus:

If you’d just give me a reason

You know that I would stay

It’s now or never

Don’t let fear trap the words that you’re dying to say…

Chorus:

I need you to want me to stay

Tell me you need me to stay

Because I would run to you without a second thought

Turn around and leave this airport

With you, if you’d just say

You want me to stay.

Middle 8:

This is it, they’re calling for the final time

I can’t afford to miss this flight if nothing’s waiting for me on this side

So what’s it gonna be? Can you be brave enough to be honest with me?

And tell me that you don’t want me to leave

Because you love me.

Chorus:

I need you to want me to stay

Tell me you need me to stay

Because I would run to you without a second thought

Turn around and leave this airport

With you, if you’d just say

You want me to stay.

End:

I guess not… Goodbye then.
