Song Lyrics

"Stay"

by Jessa Anderson
Album: Whole

Another yelling match here in the living room
A personal attack is thrown from me to you
And then you give it back, and slam the door and drive away
And all you're thinking is, 'Don't know how much more I can take'

'Cause when we started out, wide eyed and unafraid
Thought we would never doubt the promises we made
But disillusioned now, 'cause nothing seems to be the same
And we are wondering just how much more that we can take//

You can run, you can hide if you want to
Tell yourself that somehow it will change you
Make your mark, then you leave when the bottom falls out
You can leave, you could go, but it'd be a mistake
Can't you see, don't you know that we're in this the same'
You can run, you can hide, or you could just stay, stay//

If we could work it out, if we could pull it through
We'd see so much will change inside of me and you
Where there was empty ground will be a garden full of grace
Illuminated by the sun but watered by the rain//

So when the night seems like it might never end
Close your eyes, say a prayer, and begin again
Let the cracks and the flaws help you realize
That something beautiful is waiting on the other side
