Stay

Strength, I never had much strength
When it came to loving him
Change, I don't do well with change
Can't decipher what is real
I failed to show you how I truly feel
And now you're going, and I can't deal
So stay, for me
What do I know?
I'm a make believer
I'm a tyrant
But I'd treat you right this time
You, you always take the punches
You accept it as it comes
And I am good when I am good
But when I'm bad, I'm overbearing and I know
You do the best you can
Hardly feeling like a man
[Chorus]
Throw me down, hit my face, break my back
'Cause I can take the physical pain
Belittle me in front of a crowd
Tell 'em I'm only really half of myself
when they're around
Tell 'em I'm even scared of the dark,
I stay up all night
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
Tell 'em I hold the pain of a girl that never was real
A girl that you, you never even knew
Oh, I guess I've really done it
You won't look me in the eye
No, don't tell me that it's over
I won't cry, but I will wither up inside
And never be the same
And I'm the only one to blame
[Chorus]
