Of all the things I've ever heard
The common misconception
You can't be whole until it hurts
You always told me not to be afraid
So why am I so scared of all the words I need to say
You said you'd be the one by my side
While I constantly regret the one thing I was scared to try
You could be the thought that crossed my mind
And I'd think of you each time
All I ask is you to stay
To keep me close when I'm afraid
And every time I feel alone
When I doubt all I've ever known
When I don't know what else to do
I know there is always you
So just be calm and hear my voice
I would never leave you
The rest is only noise
So I stood still and starved myself for days
Screaming underwater just to see your face
And even when I knew that you would stay
Every doubt came creeping in
You're throwing it all away
You could be the thought that crossed my mind
And I'd think of you each time
All I ask is you to stay
To keep me close when I'm afraid
And every time I feel alone
When I doubt all I've ever known
When I don't know what else to do
I know there is always you
