I'll Stay - Riley Clemmons

It’s hard to write a pretty rhyme

When all I hear is a symphony

Of things that don’t make sense to me

«Everything will be okay»

Sounds like an empty phrase

When I can’t say anything

That takes the weight of «Everything»

But I can’t make a rainbow out of rain

I can’t write a song to heal the pain

But I’ll be standing here while the world turns away

I won’t pretend like I can save the day

Say the words to make it all okay

But while the world turns away-ay-ayy

I’ll stay-ay-ayy, I’ll stay-ay-ayy

You’re stuck with all the «could have beens»

The worst is playing in your head

And every doubt is echoing

And it feels like no one’s listening

But I’m listening, oh-ohh-ooh

But I can’t make a rainbow out of rain

I can’t write a song to heal the pain

But I’ll be standing here while the world turns away

I won’t pretend like I can save the day

Say the words to make it all okay

But while the world turns away-ay-ayy

I’ll stay-ay-ayy, I’ll stay-ay-ayy

When it all comes crashing down, breaking down

You hit the ground

I’ll be around

If it feels like there is no defense

Life can hurt, it makes no sense

But I’ll be around

I won’t pretend like I can save the day

Say the words to make it all okay

While the world turns away-ay-ayy

I’ll stay-ay-ayy, I’ll stay-ay-ayy

I’ll stay… I’ll stay-ay-ayy
