Stay Here With Me

[Verse]
My tongue is tied but my heart screams out
There's a fire in my chest and it wants to shout
I see you looking his way and it cuts me through
But my lips won't dare speak what I feel for you
[Chorus]
Go on ahead be with him if that's how it must be
But every minute you're gone is stealing life from me
I wear this mask of pride but my soul won't agree
Stay here with me stay here with me
[Verse 2]
I’m biting down hard on words that won’t fade
Like a ghost they linger in the choices I’ve made
I say you deserve what's best but I wish it was me
It’s breaking my heart but I’ve set you free
[Chorus]
Go on ahead be with him if that's how it must be
But every minute you're gone is stealing life from me
I wear this mask of pride but my soul won't agree
Stay here with me stay here with me
[Bridge]
The truth is sharp it carves through my skin
I told lies to lose just so you could win
But in my silence you can hear the ache
I’m crumbling inside but my smile won't break
[Chorus]
Go on ahead be with him if that's how it must be
But every minute you're gone is stealing life from me
I wear this mask of pride but my soul won't agree
Stay here with me stay here with me
