I'm the last one standing so this must be my fault And you're curled up on the sofa, frozen with regret It's true one man's accident is another man's assault But I haven't figured out which one this is yet (Chorus) But I'm tired of living in this state of fear I'm gonna run you outta here one day Talk is cheaper than it's been in years So I think there's only one thing left to say Stay There was fire in my chest from the moment that we met You were all style and grace and full of Southern charm Still I wish that I didn't know now what I didn't know then When I was young and starry-eyed and curled around your arm (Chorus) So I'll keep standing by, no matter what the cost Truth is that loneliness beats being alone But I fear along the way something sacred has been lost And I fear that my weakness is all that I'll ever own (Chorus) Stay Stay Stay Stay Stay Stay Stay Stay
