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
