Stay With Me

Nessa Barrett

Maybe I'm not meant to be held

I get close, and they always leave

Will you be like everyone else

Or will you stay with me?

 

 

They stole all my innocence and

Turned me to a masochist

Consumed in all my darkness when I weep

 

 

You walked in so heaven-sent and

Laid me in my bed to rest and

My lonely dying garden where I sleep

When I wake, will you leave?

 

 

Maybe I'm not mеant to be held

I get closе and they always leave

Will you be like everyone else

Or will you stay with me?

Maybe I've done this to myself

Another love that I've had to grieve

Will you be like everyone else

Or will you stay with me?

 

 

I can't afford to lose another

Please don't turn out like my mother

I'm terrified you'll hurt me when I'm weak

 

You could be the one to take

All my pretty pain away

Just promise that your love is mine to keep

If I break, will you leave?

 

Maybe I'm not meant to be held

I get close and they always leave

Will you be like everyone else

Or will you stay with me? (Ah-ah)

Maybe I've done this to myself (Ah-ah)

Another love that I've had to grieve (Ah-ah)

Will you be like everyone else

Or will you stay with me?
