Stray Lyrics by The Exies

A Modern Way of Living With the Truth

2007

[Verse 1]
Left alone with empty hands
Losing you is more than I can stand, I can't mend
I close my eyes, and made a wish
To lose myself so I'll forget about you, it's no use

[Chorus]
Swore to never ever leave you
To never let you out of my hands
Nothing here could ever change this
A promise til the living end
I swore I'd never stray from you

[Verse 2]
Broken bones, broken in half
I've come too far to start again
But I'm trying, I am trying
I'm sick of this, I'm sick of hurt
Shame is such a dirty word
I'm trying, I'm still trying

[Chorus]
Swore to never ever leave you
To never let you out of my hands
Nothing here could ever change this
A promise 'til the living end
I never meant to be a liar
The shame is cutting into my skin
I'd rather die on my feet than
Live here on my knees again
I swore I'd never stray from you
I swore I'd never stray from you

[ad lib]
Woah

[Chorus]
Swore to never ever leave you
To never let you out of my hands
Nothing here could ever change this
A promise 'til the living end
I never meant to be a liar
The shame is cutting into my skin
I'd rather die on my feet than
Live here on my knees again
I swore I'd never stray from you
I swore I'd never stray from you
I swore I'd never stray from you
I swore I'd never stray from you
