Lyrics
Stay Close To Me
A thousand thoughts are running through my head
And I just can't slow them down
No, I can't slow them down
My mind and heart are so full of doubt
And I just don't know how I'm gonna work this out
Those thoughts running wild keep me from being here
Like a child waking in the night I'm full of fear
Stay close to me
'Cause I'm so afraid
One day I'll have to face all those mistakes I've made
And I know that life is more than I have let it be
But, I've never been that free
Stay close to me
If I'd known before, all that I know now
I'd have listened more, not closed so many doors
I would have recognized I was full of doubt
And not been so convinced I'd always work things out
And I know if I forgive myself I'll feel renewed
But, I'm just not sure that's something I can do
Stay close to me 'cause I'm so afraid
One day I'll have to face all those mistakes I've made
And I know that life is more than I have let it be
But, I've never been that free
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
'Cause I'm so afraid
One day I'll have to face all those mistakes I've made
And I know that life is more than I have let it be
But, I've never been that free
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
