Stay
I've sung a thousand songs for strangers
Smiled through every lonely night
But when I see you in the corner
Something finally feels right
I don't need the stage
I don't need the lights
I just need a reason
To make it through tonight
Stay, just stay
Don't walk out when the music fades
I've been waiting all my life
For someone who won't say goodbye
So stay... please stay
They clap, they cheer, they disappear
Like ghosts before the dawn
But you're still here when the room goes quiet
You're still here when the crowd is gone
I've learned to fake a smile
I've learned to play the part
But I never learned to hide
What's breaking in my heart
Stay, just stay
Don't walk out when the music fades
I've been waiting all my life
For someone who won't say goodbye
So stay... please stay
I know I'm just a voice
A melody, a dream
But underneath the spotlight
I'm more than what I seem
Stay, just stay
I'll sing for you and no one else
Forget the crowd, forget the stage
Just you and me, and nothing fake
So stay...
Stay...
