if you stay

You feel a little naked every time you speak You've gotten good at faking, at lying through your teeth You know when to throw a punch or when to tell them you're in love But you don't, but you don't You try to hide your feelings with your heart out on your sleeve You stay silent for a weekend cause you cry when you try to speak You think you know what to do, it don't come easy to you No it don't, no it don't What's yours is yours until they go and leave you You love someone until they really see you Take a breath kid, it's okay, life is better than today And morning's just a sleep away If you stay, if you stay You could have all the cliches The perfect job, the perfect date It'll all be yours someday If you stay, if you stay You have a hard time knowing how people feel inside So you've gotten good at hoping they can see it in your eyes You don't wanna be too much, you think you don't measure up But you do, yes you do If you need a second I can give you that But only if tonight is not your last Take a breath kid, it's okay, life is better than today The morning's just a sleep away If you stay, if you stay You could have all the cliches The perfect job, the perfect date It'll all be yours someday If you stay, if you stay Take a breath kid, it's okay, life is better than today The morning's just a sleep away If you stay, if you stay Leave this all in yesterday It doesn't matter anyway Take your time, you know I'll wait If you stay, you should stay
