You were there, pulling thorns from your fingers 

From all the foolish flowers placed in tender hands 

And so I'm here, making sure there is not one left 

On this hopeless little rose, I've been saving for you 



Maybe it's love, or maybe it's two years down the drain 

But where there is no pain, I guess there is no gain 

Maybe it's tough, but you're more than worth the wait 

And so I'm here to stay, yeah I'm here to stay 



You inspire, and you keep me on my toes 

And the weight of your words like an anchor to my soul 

And if I could, I would summon all I have in me 

To see that smile once again, and have you feel the way I do 



And now the questions are hanging over like a cloud 

Have I done harm all the more to your broken heart 

Time move fast, cuz letting go has never been so hard 

When there's a whole sea to swim, and I'd find only one of you 



Maybe it's love, maybe I am the one to blame 

For entertaining pain all over again 

Maybe it's tough, but you were more than worth the wait 

Am I still here to stay, am I still here to stay 



Cuz you're gone today, you're gone.. 



Am I still here to stay
