you didn't see it coming
you were looking for acceptance
someone, anyone to love you

you stumbled across a sure thing
you had waited for a long long time
these ones, yeah they did love you

you

so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat

the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote


so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay

there's no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey

and god forbid you'd ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart


you didn't know you were missing
we were looking for your presence

did you know that we missed you?
a beautiful girl with a good heart
oh i prayed and i prayed each and every day

we'd not be apart

so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat

the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote


so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay

there's no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey

and god forbid you'd ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart


looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such hell, i can't count the times i've cried

looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such hell, i really thought you'd died


so your friends and family were taken away
and the only thing you did was stay
there's no room to love, no room to play

and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you'd ever stray

oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
just stay with me, if only just in my heart

please stay with me, if only just in my heart
