Will You Stay

You say you love me

And you want this to last

You want to build something special

that nobody has.

You say I’m beautiful and that you’ll love me for me. That’s what you say.

But will you stay if it all goes away?

It seems once I’ve got nothing to offer and I’m of no use

Seems their heart hardens

And I’m discarded

Will you leave when times get tough?

Or will you stay and work on us?

Do you value me as much as I value you?

Will I be able to tell you how I feel?

Or will I have to walk on eggshells?

I’m wanting healthy and I hope you want that too.

I want something real, genuine, and true.

Life is too long to live without love

But life is too short to settle for less than what you deserve.

I need someone in my life who will love me for me

Not only for what I can give or only when things are easy.

Someone who sees beyond my kind heart

Who won’t leave when things get hard.

Are you that person who will choose to stay

Or will you be the one who leaves one day?

Will you leave when times get tough?

Or will you stay and work on us?

Do you value me as much as I value you?

Will I be able to tell you how I feel?

Or will I have to walk on eggshells?

I’m wanting healthy and I hope you want that too.

I want something real, genuine, and true.
