Aaron California - Stay Lyrics

[Verse]
Never been close to perfect
Never been one to lead
Always felt mostly worthless
Full of apologies
Often times sick of hurting
Rarely know what I need
Sabotage things on purpose
Scared of what I could be
Never could find a reason
To be a better me
Most of what I believe in
Are diluted memories
Shamed that I keep on preaching
Things that I'll never be
I'm half the man you're all thinking
Sometimes it gets to me
If I could find a way I would take this all
Erase out all the pain
And if I have to pay then I'll take the fall
Cuz something's got to change

[Chorus]
I'm noticing that I don't have to live this way
I'm opening my eyes before I fade away
My broken wings don't hurt no more they'll heal oneday
There's hope for me to be someone I think I
[Verse]
Open my eyes this morning
See my son smiling back
I should've seen the warnings
Cuz I was a wild chap
All of this feels so foreign
Why does this make me sad?
Maybe he's too important
I hope I'm a decent dad
Sometimes I watch him sleeping
Wonder if he has dreams
Scared as I watch him breathing
What he might think of me
Thankful I've found a reason
Hopeful what he might be
Couldn't imagine leaving
I'm facing my destiny
I guess I'll stick around see what I become
I'll give my all this time
Forget all about all the things I've done
I'll leave it all behind

[Chorus]
I'm noticing that I don't have to live this way
I'm opening my eyes before I fade away
My broken wings don't hurt no more they'll heal one day
There's hope for me to be someone, I think I'll stay
[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I'm noticing that I don't have to live this way
I'm opening my eyes before I fade away
My broken wings don't hurt no more they'll heal one day
There's hope for me to be someone, I think I'll stay
