Nessa Barrett - Stay With Me Lyrics

Nessa Barrett Lyrics

"Stay With Me"

Maybe I'm not meant to be held
I get close, and they always leave
Will you be like everyone else
Or will you stay with me?

They stole all my innocence and
Turned me to a masochist and
Consumed in all my darkness when I weep

You walked in so heaven-sent and
Laid me in my bed to rest in
My lonely dying garden where I sleep
When I wake, will you leave?

Maybe I'm not meant to be held
I get close and they always leave
Will you be like everyone else
Or will you stay with me?
Maybe I've done this to myself
Another love that I've had to grieve
Will you be like everyone else
Or will you stay with me?

I can't afford to lose another
Please don't turn out like my mother
I'm terrified you'll hurt me when I'm weak

You could be the one to take
All my pretty pain away, just
Promise that your love is mine to keep
If I break, will you leave?

Maybe I'm not meant to be held
I get close and they always leave
Will you be like everyone else
Or will you stay with me? (Ah-ah)
Maybe I've done this to myself (Ah-ah)
Another love that I've had to grieve (Ah-ah)
Will you be like everyone else
Or will you stay with me?
