you didn't see [bad word] 
you were looking for acceptance
someone, anyone to love you
you stumbled across a sure thing
you had waited for a long long time
these ones, yeah they did love you
you

so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat
the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote

so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay
there's no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you'd ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart

you didn't know you were missing
we were looking for your presence
did you know that we missed you?
a beautiful girl with a good heart
oh i prayed and i prayed each and every day
we'd not be apart

so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat
the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote

so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay
there's no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you'd ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart

looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such [bad word]  i can't count the times i've cried
looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such [bad word]  i really thought you'd died

so your friends and family were taken away
and the only thing you did was stay
there's no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you'd ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
just stay with me, if only just in my heart
please stay with me, if only just in my heart
