CAUSE I’ll STAY
INTRO
VERSE
Try to make sense of it all
Maybe I don’t have the brains for that
The handwritings on the wall
But I just read right over it
Tell me I’m foolish—and I’ll just run away
But don’t keep me believing
‘Cause I’ll stay
(Interlude)
VERSE
The ghost of what could have been
It keeps me up all night
No matter which way I turn
The road I’m on is never right
I given this all I have and I’m—not even in the race
So don’t keep me believing
‘Cause I’ll stay
CHORUS
You know me way to well
I’m not one to quit
‘Cause I still believe in what
Most days I should forget
To me this is everything
But if I’m a pawn in your game
Please don’t keep me believing
‘Cause I’ll stay
BRIDGE
What else do you want from me?
‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ left
Another night on my knees
Or standing on my head
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
End of 2nd Chorus
Don’t keep me believing
Don’t you keep me believing
Please don’t keep me believing
‘Cause I’ll stay—you know I’ll stay
There’s just no other way
‘Cause I’ll stay
