Stay My Dear

“There is nothing you can do

To make us stop loving you

Nothing you can say

Will make us turn away

Don’t ever be ashamed of your scars

They are beautiful just as you are

Stay with us and we’ll chase the bad dreams away

We'll do anything to make you stay

Don’t ever think you aren’t beautiful

You are not delusional

You are the reason the flowers grow

We think you’re special, just so you know

Nothing will take you away from our hearts

You’re not a robot with missing parts

There is nothing that you need to fix

They can’t break you with stones and sticks

There is nothing that you can’t do

Nothing that will change our view

I know you feel like giving up, like ending it all

Oh, but darling, come on, this is your wake-up call

I know you're hurting deep inside

I want you to know, I'm forever on your side

Don't cry dear, I'll wipe your tears

Take my hand, I'll help you through your darkest fears

There’s nothing that can break you down

No ocean will make you drown

No sky will make you fall

No earth can make you crawl

No fire can taint you

No rain can rust you

No rock can break you

No soil can stain you

There's nothing standing in your way

So please my dear; stay”
