Riley Clemmons – I'll Stay lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to find the words sometimes
It's hard to write a pretty rhyme
When all I hear is a symphony
Of things that don't make sense to me
"Everything will be okay"
Sounds like an empty phrase
When I can't say anything
That takes the weight of "Everything"

[Chorus 1]
But I can't make a rainbow out of rain
I can't write a song to heal the pain
But I'll be standing here while the world turns away
I won't pretend like I can save the day
Say the words to make it all okay
But while the world turns away-ay-ayy
I'll stay-ay-ayy, I'll stay-ay-ayy

[Verse 2]
You're stuck with all the "could have beens"
The worst is playing in your head
And every doubt is echoing
And it feels like no one's listening
But I'm listening, oh-ohh-ooh

[Chorus 1]
But I can't make a rainbow out of rain
I can't write a song to heal the pain
But I'll be standing here while the world turns away
I won't pretend like I can save the day
Say the words to make it all okay
But while the world turns away-ay-ayy
I'll stay-ay-ayy, I'll stay-ay-ayy

[Bridge]
When it all comes crashing down, breaking down
You hit the ground
I'll be around
If it feels like there is no defense
Life can hurt, it makes no sense
But I'll be around

[Chorus 2]
I won't pretend like I can save the day
Say the words to make it all okay
While the world turns away-ay-ayy
I'll stay-ay-ayy, I'll stay-ay-ayy
I'll stay… I'll stay-ay-ayy
