I Will Stay

I have seen you at the window
 I've heard you at the door
 I've felt the world convince you
 You could even up the score
 Watched you carry all the mem'ries
 Of a life that came before
 Then went away
 But I will stay
 I remember how you told me
 You felt it all might fall apart
 You barely made it into this world
 And you've been fighting from the star
 It's not easy to believe
 But I will protect your heart
 In every way
 I will stay
 Warm rain on the water
 A lone star in the night
 I brave dreams to hold on to
 It will be alright
 And it's hard to keep believing
 All the stories you've been told
 And to watch the way you try, babe
 Is a sight to behold
 And sometimes you will get angry
 And sometimes you will get cold
 But that's okay
 I will stay
 There's a ghost in every garden
 And a lock on every door
 And all of them remind you
 Of the ones who came before
 There's a pain in every mem'ry
 You don't have to hold no more
 Now the summer sun is fading
 And the autumn's in the hall
 And if time would just stop moving
 It wouldn't bother you at all
 But your story isn't finished
 You got so much more to say
 And I can't wait
 So I will stay
 I will stay
