Stay

By Keya Pothen

If I find a way to bring you back 

Change the ways that I react 

Would you stay a little longer this time?

If I held you close 

But stayed away, 

And kept my love for another day

Would you stay a little longer this time?

I know you think I’m crazy

And you’d like to stay away. 

But could you please come back, 

Just for another day?

And if I keep my love locked away,

Could I please just have another day?

I’d like to do this life with you.

Tell me if I kept my emotions in control, a while?

Would you stay a little longer this time?

I mean it when I say, 

I can’t do life any other way 

I'm not ready to say goodbye.

If I find a way to bring you back 

Stop the train on its tracks 

Turn my back away from loving you?

And if I held you close 

But stayed away 

And kept my love for another day

Would you stay a little longer this time?
