Why stay?
Why stay?
So steadfast and stolid
And stoic and solid
For day after every day?
Why stay?
Why stay?
Why not simply give in
And get on with living?
'Cause everyone knows you tried
But somehow something died on the way
So tell me why you stay
Why stay?
Why stay?
Enduring and coping
And hurting and hoping
For day after fucking day
Why stay?
Why stay?
Why not simply end it?
We'd all comprehend it
And most of the world would say
"He's better off that way, to be free"
And maybe so is she
A promise, a boy says forever
A boy says whatever may come, we'll come through
And who can know how when all I know now to be true
Is this promise that I made to you
A question, a boy wonders whether
Should two stay together
The way that they stay
For year after year
From love or from fear
Either way
That's the promise that I made that day
Here's what I say
To the girl who was burning so brightly
Like the light from Orion above
And still I will search for her nightly
If you see her, please send her my love
And the boy was a boy for all seasons
The boy is lost
That boy is long lost to me now
So lost
But the man has forgotten his reasons
The man still remembers his vow
A promise, a man says forever
A man says I'll never regret or let you
The promise that I made to stay
And I stayed true
Knowing one day we'd remember that joy
You'd remember that girl
I'd remember that boy
And 'til we do
The promise I made
I'll make it brand new
The promise that I made to you
