If I can’t?

Lyin’ in the dark, can’t sleep again

Feelin’ like a stranger in my own skin

Keep it all inside, tryna play it cool

But baby, I’ve been breakin’ every rule

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry

But I’ve been holdin’ tears behind my pride

Every smile’s a little lie

Tell me, would you even recognize…

The part of me that’s slippin’ through

Would you hold me like you used to do?

Even when I’m not okay

Would you stay?

What if I can’t light the way

What if my strength can’t save the day

Would you still love me all the same

Or would you be like everyone else and walk away

Would you stay…

Tell me, would you stay…

I been drownin’ quiet in a loud world

Tryna be enough for you, for me, for the whole world

But baby, I need more than just a prayer

I need someone who sees me there

Not just the man they think I am

But the one who needs a helping hand

If I showed you all my pain

Would you stay?

What if I can’t light the way

What if my strength can’t save the day

Would you still love me all the same

Or would you be like everyone else and walk away

Would you stay…

Would you stay…

If I laid down my disguise

Let the truth fall from my eyes

Would you run or would you rise

Be the reason I survive

What if I can’t light the way

(Yeah, yeah…)

What if my strength can’t save the day

Would you still love me all the same

Or would you be like everyone else and walk away

Would you stay…

Would you stay…

Or walk away…
