Here to Stay Lyrics by Jamie McDell

Six Strings and a Sailboat

2012

[Verse 1]
I get stronger in my mind everyday
You move closer and I find I'm still afraid
I don't know how you get me, the things I do
Everyday I am testing my faith in you
[Chorus]
And I realise maybe this time
That my heart won't have to break
And I'll be alright on the inside
But I'm still afraid to say
I'm here to stay
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'll just press rewind
Let the memories fade
Leave the pieces I can't find and run away
But with you I want to stay
[Chorus]
And I realise maybe this time
That my heart won't have to break
And I'll be alright on the inside
But I'm still afraid to say
I'm here to stay
[Bridge]
But I'm angry 'cause the past
Taught me love can never last
And the beating in my heart will fade
But I see a different light
When you're with me here tonight
Telling me that I will be okay
[Chorus]
And I realise maybe this time
That my heart won't have to break
And I'll be alright on the inside
But I'm still afraid to say
I'm here to stay
