give me a reason to stay
I'm still in fight or flight
time hasn't healed these wounds
it's only made clear what is broken
Give me a reason to stay
We are products of the lies
we grew up with
the sins of our families
the will of social pressure
though I know better now
my instincts still follow
the path of my childhood
not the path of the adult
I want to be
Give me a reason to stay
I don't know who you are
or maybe I don't want to know
maybe you're showing me
the unmasked you
while I live in yesterday's dream
trying to get back to a place
that no longer exists
and perhaps never existed
in the first place
Give me a reason to stay
Don't let me slip away
