Emma Grant - Staying for Love
When you first metSparks would fly, you’re feeling high
You’ll stay together on cloud nine
You felt so special
All you’d do was find a way
To be together everyday
And when those times came
You told yourself you felt no pain
If you’re staying for love, don’t do that
Love shouldn’t hurt you
If you’re staying just because, don’t do that
You don’t deserve to
It was just the one time
You told yourself while trying to shelf
The feeling of losing yourself
It was your fault
You made a sound or shed a tear
Or showed too much or little fear
So next time you’ll know
Which way is safe to go
If you’re staying for love, don’t do that
Love shouldn’t hurt you
If you’re staying just because, don’t do that
You don’t deserve to
Love is patient and kind
It doesn’t remind of mistakes in the past
Making the pain last
It’s not jealous or proud
It doesn’t boast in a crowd
It won’t fly in to rage when you’re not on the same page
It speaks words that are true
Wants to protect you
Not raise up a hand so you can no longer stand
And it trusts and it hopes to keep dreams alive
It doesn’t drag you down
So you can barely survive
Now time has gone by
You’ve learned to smile amongst the crowd
Your inner voice screaming so loud
A shadow of who you were
It’s normal now, it’s been so long
You’re used to feeling in the wrong
But maybe one day
You’ll get the chance to have your say
If you’re staying for love, don’t do that
Love shouldn’t hurt you
If you’re staying just because, don’t do that
You don’t deserve to
If you’re staying for love, don’t do that
Love shouldn’t hurt you
If you’re staying just because, don’t do that
You don’t deserve to
