Heidi Fiore - Please Stay

Please Stay,
It doesn’t have to be for long,
But I know that I am not strong
Enough to watch you walk away.

But, I could use you here.
That to me is clear.
I feel that when I’m near
You, you push away my fear.

Please Stay,
I know you have things to do
I know there’s people who need you,
To lead them in their way.

Please stay,
I really couldn’t bare
That awkward long and binding stare
As I watch you walk away

But what about me?
Didn’t you see,
When I needed to breathe,
And I wasn’t free?

What about us
And all the things that we braved?
Why couldn’t we be saved?
Was it because we had lost our trust?

Please stay
Just another minute or two
Or maybe until the day is through,
Then we could walk along the bay,

And I would say,
“I need you so,
Why is it that you have to go
When you’re the only one to bring joy to my day? ”

Please stay,
I know you’re on a different track.
I promise not to hold you back
If you decide you need to walk away.

Please Stay,
It’s just so hard to let you go
When I still love you so
Much it hurts in everyway

So, please stay
There is so much you need to show
Me, but I just need to know,
Where did our love go?
