Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Give Me a Reason to Stay
[Verse 1]
I could walk on
Tell myself there's no room for you in my life
Pretend there's nothing left inside
Just throw us away
But I still believe, if you asked I'd walk into the fire for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, don't wanna leave you here like this
I keep holding on if there's something left
[Chorus]
I'm willing to lay my heartache down
Give me a reason to stay
It wouldn't take much to turn me around
And stop me from leavin’
Give me a reason to stay
[Verse 2]
Just say the word, I can surely stand a little compromise
Reach out to me with your eyes, and I'll meet you halfway
Give me some kind of sign, show me there's some hope for love inside your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, what could it hurt to try a bit
Wanting her more, if we let it in
[Chorus]
I'm willing to lay my heartache down
Give me a reason to stay
It wouldn't take much to turn me around
And stop me from leavin’
Give me a reason to stay
[Post-Chorus]
You have it in your hands to keep here
To stop before we go too far
All you have to do is talk to me
If it's not too late, look into my heart
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm willing
I don’t need very much from you
I'm willing
What I'm tryin’ to say to you
[Chorus]
I'm willing to lay my heartache down
Give me a reason to stay
It wouldn't take much to turn me around
And to stop me from leavin’
Give me a reason to stay
I'm willing to lay my heartache down
Give me a reason to stay
It wouldn't take much to turn me around
And stop me from leavin’
Give me a reason to stay
