Stay Alive

[KeiaTypeBeat 3290]

I see your eyes

And how hard you try to just do right 

I hypothesize 

Why your head hangs low as misery sows

I empathize 

With who you are when things fall apart

And your body shakes as your voice starts to break

And your emotions feel fake when you've lost your way

And despite what they say you don't feel safe

And it feels like God doesn't care when you pray 

So your head hangs low as you hide your face

 

I've been there before 

When life is a chore 

So please don't ignore when I open the door

Go outside and breathe; don't cry on the floor

You need to feel free when life you abhor 

 

You should know 

You're in control 

Of your destiny 

So baby please 

Just believe 

When I say I know in this life you should stay

 

Lift your eyes

In the middle of the day when the clouds give way

And the sun shines down on your beautiful face

Do you realize? 

You're a wonderful view and the things you do 

Can only be done by someone like you 

And you stabilize 

The beating of my heart when things fall apart

With those auburn lips and your beautiful gifts

I know you've run out of wit but you don't need to quit

Everyday you choose to live is a miraculous win

 

It gives me hope when my voice starts to choke

And I feel so alone in my broken home 

And if I can make your day brighter 

My chest will feel lighter 

Instead of starting a fire 

As I stand in my pyre 

 

I'll try to sire

When you grow tired

The hope you need 

To relax and breathe 

Stay with me 

Please stay with me 

 

Your life you should save 

So please find a way 

To stay alive today
