paroles de chanson Why Stay?/A Promise - J. Robert Spencer

Why stay? Why stay?
So steadfast and stolid and stoic and solid
For day after every day

Why stay? Why stay?
Why not simply give in and get on with living?
'Cause everyone knows you tried

But somehow something died on the way
So tell me why you stay

Why stay? Why stay?
Enduring and coping and hurting
And hoping for day after fucking day

Why stay? Why stay?
Why not simply end it? We'd all comprehend it
And most of the world would say he's better off that way
To be free and maybe so is she

A promise a boy says forever
A boy says whatever may come will come through
And who can know how when all I know now to be true
Is this promise that I made to you

A question a boy wonders whether
Should I stay together the way that they stay
For year after year for love or from fear either way
That's the promise that I made that day

Here's what I say to the girl who was burning so brightly
Like the light from Orion above
And still I will search for her nightly
If you see her please send her my love

And the boy was a boy for all seasons
That boy is long lost to me now
And the man has forgotten his reasons
But the man still remembers his vow

A promise a man says forever
A man says I'll never regret or let you
The promise I made to stay and I stay true

Knowing one day we'd remember that joy
You'd remember that girl, I'd remember that boy
Till we do the promise I made I'll make it brand new
The promise that I made to you
