Stay

Darling you don’t hold me close the way you used to do
And I wonder what you’re thinking when I'm reaching out for you
You’re trying to be patient, yea you’re trying to be kind
But I know that you’re still running from the demons in my mind

But I promise this thing in my head
It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals
That are out of whack in my mind
Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine
That I'm drowning in to stay alive
I am often unkempt and unreasonable
But I swear to God that this is me trying
I'm begging you stay, I'm begging you stay

I know the weight of my sins is a heavy thing to hold
But I am not yours to carry, I can lift it on my own
We’re tired here together from these long and lonely nights
Where your sighing sounds like screaming, I'm trying to make it out alive

But I promise this thing in my head
It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals
That are out of whack in my mind
Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine
That I'm drowning in to stay alive
I am often unkempt and unreasonable
But I swear to God that this is me trying
I'm begging you stay, I'm begging you stay

Don’t give up on me (don’t give up on me)
And I won’t give up on you (I won’t give up on you)
Don’t give up on me (don’t give up on me)
And I won’t give up on you (I won’t give up)

But I promise this thing in my head
It ain’t got the best of me yet

Somewhere between all the wine and the chemicals
That are out of whack in my mind
Somewhere between all the whiskey and the medicine
That I'm drowning in to stay alive
I am often unkempt and unreasonable
But I swear to God that this is me trying
I'm begging you stay, I'm begging you stay
So darling won’t you hold me close the way you used to do
