Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what I would do
If I was left alone to my own devices
I need to fight this
Sometimes I feel that I'm not acting right
All my life I've been acting childish
Don't mean to be like this
[Verse 2]
But I swear I'm gonna take my time
And I hope that you don't change your mind
So I swear I'm gonna take my time
Oh, I know it's hard to find someone like you
I don't wanna let down
[Verse 3]
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
Ooh, when you see me at my worst
My, my, my worst
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
[Verse 4]
Ahh, ahh
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I put up a wall to protect how I feel
When I fear the darkness
My heart is guarded
Lighting my fuse it so easy to do
No excuses, I make it harder
For that I'm sorry
[Verse 6]
'Cause I swear I'm gonna take my time
And I hope that you don't change your mind
[Verse 7]
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
Ooh, when you see me at my worst
My, my, my worst
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
[Verse 8]
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
[Verse 9]
Tell me that it's all okay
Keep me from digging my own grave
Tell me it's okay
'Cause I know it's hard to find someone like you
I don't wanna let down
[Verse 10]
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
Ooh, when you see me at my worst
My, my, my worst
I hope you stay around, stay around
(I hope you) Stay around
[Verse 11]
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
