I don't remember when I first was told
Or how often I've heard it before
"Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and
Keep one eye fixed on the door"
I guess that's why I build these friendships
With a getaway hatch in the floor
No need to be brave if you haven't escaped
The moment you feel insecure
But somehow this time around
By the grace of a God I continually doubt
I am not leaving I am sticking around
To find out what comes after the fear and the doubt
I will stay here awhile
And let you see right through me
I will trust in your smile
That you could love me truly
I will stay
I guess I will stay
Seems like everybody is looking
To justify these ends to the means
Don't see eye to eye?
Then give up, and goodbye
It's making it hard to believe
But somehow this time around
By an unanxious love and a mercy profound
I am not leaving I am sticking around
There's no reason to run when you're finally found
I will stay here awhile
And let you see right through me
I will trust in your smile
That you could love me truly
I will stay (I will stay
I guess I will stay (I will stay)
Oh I will stay (I will stay
I guess I will stay (I will stay)
Somehow this time around
You saw my heart and you didn't back down
No I am not leaving I am sticking around
I promise to wait while we're working it out
