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. 
Life is too long to live without love
But life is too short to settle for less than what you deserve.
