Testo di 'Stay' di Caleb Hyles

I'm caught between the future and right now
Of what's to come and how to smile now
Sing me a song with lyrics so profound
Is that too much to ask you, anyhow?

My way with words is rather crude and blunt at best
I traumatize your heart, than ask for sentiment
The other side of this pillow reeks of salt and spoiled dreams
My arrogance avoiding guilt, no way, that wasn't me!

To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed
A chance to reconcile, to praise what makes us different
We do not need one's validation to know we exist
Perpentually bent to run whenever we should stay

So stitch me up, I've had enough of bleeding my heart dry
You will pull through, you always do, I'm not a savior this time
For all to see and what will be, my glory days are gone
Replaced with more, time's just rewards, understanding for all

I'll be there for you
'Cause I no longer need for me
I rest my soul in something else
That we will always try to run away from

I cannot deny that I've neglected my own wants
I've questioned long enough, I'm unprepared for what's to come
But if honestly is the best policy, then I'll be damned
For holding my own tongue and sparing words has made amends

Friend and lover
And then, companion to the end
The end

To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed
A chance to reconcile, to praise what makes us different
We do not need one's validation to know we exist
Perpentually bent to run whenever we should stay
