Edited

I went back and edited an older poem that I have previously posted on here. I think it's called "Please, please stay" in the archive... Now it's just "Stay". It isn't often that I go back and change lyrics, but the song popped into my head along with a melody and new lyrics. Here's the new one (the older version can be found on this blogspot somewhere, haha).

Stay

Don't you wish we could turn around,
turn the hands of time, step away, rewind.
You're drowning in a sea of your mistakes.

You can't see that you're a beauty queen
'cuz you're blinded by your misery, oh,
You're so loved but you cannot feel a thing.

Don't you know that life throws its punches?
Don't you know that we all lose our way?
Don't you know that for every nightmare you have,
there will come a brighter day?
So please, please stay.

Don't you know that you're wonderful,
irreplacable, but you're shaken, oh,
Your walls are high and you cannot let us in.

I know how it is to be weak,
to be scared to death, to barely speak,
but I also know how it feels to be strong,
so take my hand, come on, oh,

Don't you know that life throws its punches?
Don't you know that we all lose our way?
Don't you know that for every nightmare you have
there will come a brighter day.

On your knees, on the edge,
only grains of sand remain, your decision must be made.
I'm on my knees, Oh, I'll beg,
Won't you please, please stay? Give the world a chance to change....

Life will still throw its punches...
I promise you, we all lose our way, oh,
and I know it hurts so bad when the nightmares in your head
seem like they will never fade...
But I promise there's a better day.

Please give us a second chance,
please just take my hand...
