Have to Stay Lyrics by Dido

Still on My Mind (Deluxe Edition)

2019

[Verse]
You were born with a smile on your face
And it's been there everyday
When you cry I remind you that I'm never gone away
That I'm here by your side until you send me away
When you're one hundred thousand years
You say 'til then, I have to stay
And when we walk out hand in hand
And you tell me about your day
Nothing else matters
But all you have to say
And when you wake up far too early
It's a chance to start again
And I don't know what will happen
But I know I want to stay
And if the light turns to darkness
Your face might turn away
When your words don't sound as sweet anymore
I'll listen to what you say
And when you're pushing me and telling me
I still won't walk away
Yes, I don't know what will happen
But I know I have to stay
'Cause that's what love is, darling
And I'm here as long as you need
When you show you're okay on your own
I'll smile and leave
'Cause that's what love is, darling
And I'm here as long as you need
When you show you're okay on your own
I'll smile and leave
I'll smile and leave
