Stay Awhile
by Misst
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up holding on
To every borrowed dawn
I want the hours to stay
I want the ache to fade
They tell me this is grace
But it can break my face
If love is meant to bloom
Why does it leave so soon
Pre-Chorus
Why did you make us fall?
Why do we feel it all?
If this is all we get
I’m not done with it yet
Chorus
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I’m not ready to say goodbye
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I got too much living inside
Was it made to be this hard?
Were we torn apart from the start?
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I just want my life to last
Verse 2
They say the first two hands
Opened the line in sand
One bite and now we wear
Old hurt like it was there
So why do babies cry
Under the same sky?
Why do the good and kind
Carry the heaviest minds?
Pre-Chorus
I need a clearer sign
A reason in the sky
If heaven hears my name
Why does it sound the same?
Chorus
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I’m not ready to say goodbye
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I got too much living inside
Was it made to be this hard?
Were we torn apart from the start?
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I just want my life to last
Bridge
If there’s a door after this
Let it be gentle, please
If there’s a light beyond
Let it remember me
And if it’s just dark
Then why does love still spark?
Why does my heart still reach
For something out of reach?
Final Chorus
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I’m not ready to say goodbye
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I got too much living inside
Was it made to be this hard?
Were we torn apart from the start?
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I just want my life to last
