Stay Down

[Verse 1] There’s a bitterness in the air When did you lose all your care I don’t wanna hear you speak no more ‘Cause every word leaves my heart red raw Another chance to tell me that you’re right I try and bury away all your spite You keep on saying that you want to stay But something’s telling me you’re afraid of being lonely [Pre-Chorus] Faced with all your issues With no one to pick up the pieces To tell you everything’s alright And have you thrown back in my face [Chorus] You wanna stay down so you won’t fall Lying on the ground So nothing at all can make you weak I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me Yeah [Verse 2] Thinking why do you want me around You get defensive and just shot me down Maybe you just need a hand to hold I’d touch you but you’re freezing cold Why don’t you let yourself be happy here Make that effort, come on, be sincere ‘Cause you don’t mean all of the things you say Why do you let yourself get in the way? [Pre-Chorus] Your freedom Emancipate yourself from this whole world you got yourself into This time you’ve gone way too far Trying to hurt me ’cause you can [Chorus] You wanna stay down so you won’t fall Lying on the ground So nothing at all can make you weak I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me Yeah [Bridge] Walking further into the darkness (Can you hear me calling you?) You say you just don’t know how hard it is (To walk in your shoes) Oh, but don’t you want to get better? Get out of this big black hole The one you dug yourself into And devoured all of your soul [Chorus] You wanna stay down so you won’t fall Lying on the ground So nothing at all can make you weak I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me Yeah
