Stay a Little Longer - Soul Blues Icon
Stay a little longer
You don't have to carry
Every broken piece alone
I know you've been pretending
That you're stronger than you feel at home
I've seen the way you're hurting
The way you hide behind a smile
Come sit beside me for a moment
Let the world wait for a while
You don't need all the answers
You don't need a perfect plan
Just take my hand
Stay a little longer
Let me be the one you lean on tonight
When your faith is getting weaker
I'll help you find the light
You don't have to run forever
You don't have to prove you're strong
Stay a little longer
You don't have to face it alone
Maybe life got complicated
Maybe love left you confused
Maybe you've been fighting battles
You were never meant to lose
But every road that's brought you here
Doesn't have to end in pain
Some hearts are worth believing in
Some sunshine follows rain
So if you're tired of carrying
The weight you've always known
Come home
Stay a little longer
Let me be the one you lean on tonight
When your faith is getting weaker
I'll help you find the light
You don't have to run forever
You don't have to prove you're strong
Stay a little longer
You don't have to face it alone
I can't promise perfect mornings
I can't promise easy days
But I'll be here through the questions
Through the doubts and through the pain
Stay a little longer
Let me hold your heart a while
Till the shadows start to fade
And you remember how to smile
You don't have to run forever
You don't have to be alone
Stay a little longer
I've already made you whole
Stay
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
