A bluesy, emotional, heartfelt ballad. This song is about unforeseen difficult times in life and love that can be that can be overcome with victory.

lyrics

I STAYED

I’ve been down a lonely troubled road
So unfamiliar, one I’ve never known
I’ve been beat, but not like this before
You say it’s unintentional, then don’t do it anymore
Not one more time or one more sleepless night Will I be all alone?
A Young and widowed wife.
And will I survive another runaway ride They’ll have to tie me down,
I’ll be losing my mind.

CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.

I’ve been dealt a fully loaded hand
So unpredictable, thought we had it all
And now I’m questioning all of that
Baby I see right through how you played me your fool
But I’m burning out on learning all about this side of you.

CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.

If I stay till the end of time
Till the stars stop their twinkling and that sun, that sun just won’t shine
If I stay then I pray, I’m down on my knees Lord, please take this pain away.


....I’ll be losing my mind

CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.
Now what’s that say?
I would have let go, but I couldn’t let go And I stayed.
