Lyrics: Vanessa Kafka. If He Stays.

There he goes again
My angel waking up from a fall
It's a wonder he's alive to be seen at all
Cause when he's down, he's low, so low
And I am out, reaching out

It seems that every time I'm in, he's out
And every time I'm gone, he's there
Wake me up when this is over
Wake me up if he stays

Here I go again
Ignoring all the warning signs
The same old road
I lost myself along the last time
But when I'm free, I run, I run
And he is out, reaching out

It seems that every time I'm dying

He's alive and well
How come every time I'm crying
He is free of guilt
Wake me up when this is over
Set me up for when he goes
Cause I can't live like this forever
But I can't bear to see him go

It hasn't been that long
It hasn't been that long
Since he took me in
Since he took me up
And he's down, and he's down
And he's down and I'm
Reaching out
I'm reaching out
