Stay Lyrics by Preston Max Allen

0

[Verse]
She's had a best friend
Since she was a baby
His name is Rufus and her name is Amy
He is a beagle and she is a girl
But they're thick as thieves
7 years later, she comes home from tennis
He's usually guarding the door like a menace
But he isn't there now and she finds that strange
'Cause he never leaves
[Pre-Chorus]
So she runs through the house
And she searches the yard
And she's thinking that finding him's never this hard
And her heart starts to beat
And her eyes start to tear
Because, "Oh my god, why isn't my best friend here"
[Chorus]
I'll stay
Sit on the porch everyday
I know he's coming my way
Things will be just as they were
I'm sure, I'll stay
[Verse]
She gets a boyfriend
When she is in high school
He's a lacrosse player
And she thinks that that's cool
He is an asshole and she's in his web
So she never knew
14 months later, he ditched her at prom
And she comes home and cries in the arms of her mom
Mom cancels dinner plans
Runs to her side
And she helps her through
[Pre-Chorus]
One night she's crying like life's at an end
She's convinced that nobody will love her again
And her mom runs right in and she holds her so tight
And she never lets go as she sings through the night
[Chorus]
I'll stay
No one should hurt you this way
Even when life goes astray
One day that's all in the past
You'll last, you'll stay
[Verse]
She is a senior now
Kind of forgotten
That dogs run away and some boyfriends are rotten
She's doing fine now
So she oughta know
That it's not for long
How to prepare for a call you can't answer
There's no escape
No, there's no second chance
Where a car doesn't crash and a woman's not hurt
When it all goes wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
So she runs to the hospital
Waits there alone
'Cause she was the only one there by the phone
And she tries to feel old and she tries to stay calm
But she's shaking and scared, 'cause she's losing her mom
[Chorus]
She stays
All through the night and she prays
Don't let this take her away
And though her prayers do come true
Mom isn't who she once knew
[Bridge]
Why stay?
Knowing what life takes away
Someone might need you someday
Isn't that worth who we are?
Even with dogs and with boyfriends
... And cars
[Ending]
We stay
