I Guess I Will Stay

I withdraw emotionally 

From the very one 

I hoped would rescue me

Should I run and be free?

I closed up my spirit

In order to protect 

My heart from ache

Should I leave and forsake? 

Intimacy, happiness, hope

Turns to

Isolation, pain, despair

I grow old and gray 

And think

Who will take care of me?

Who will listen to my plea?

I feel alone and he doesn't care

Tears run down my face

I want things to change 

But will It be strange? 

It's been like this for so long

Go to sleep and wake up

Wake up and go to sleep

Lay in bed and weep

I pray one day to find my love again 

I pray he would rescue me 

I pray he would take me away from all this

And tell me, "I love you," and give me a kiss

We shall be as one again 

No more secrets, no more walls

My one and only best friend

Life time together we will spend.

This is what I pray

So I guess I will stay.
