Stay Close Lyrics
I wanna know you,
There's so much at stake.
Can't face the memories,
They bend me until I break.
Hiding from the past,
But it's eating me alive.
Can't block it out
When it's coming from inside.
Every turn leads me to a new dead end.
Lost again, I'm screaming your name.
Come close, come close
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Stay close, stay close
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.
Precious denial,
A stone to break my back.
The chains I carry won't cut me any slack.
Imprisoned by fear,
No room for my heart
My only hope,
Only you can heal the scar.
Every turn leads me to a new dead end.
Lost again, I'm screaming your name.
Come close, come close
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Stay close, stay close,
Light up the night.
Save me the part of me
That's begging to die.
Stay by side,
If you leave me, I will die.
Stay by side,
If you leave me, I will die.
Stay by side,
If you hold me, I will fly.
If you hold me, I will fly.
Will you hold me?
Come close, come close
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Stay close, stay close,
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.
Come close, come close
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Stay close, stay close,
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.
There's so much at stake.
Can't face the memories,
They bend me until I break.
But it's eating me alive.
Can't block it out
When it's coming from inside.
Lost again, I'm screaming your name.
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.
A stone to break my back.
The chains I carry won't cut me any slack.
Imprisoned by fear,
No room for my heart
My only hope,
Only you can heal the scar.
Lost again, I'm screaming your name.
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Light up the night.
Save me the part of me
That's begging to die.
If you leave me, I will die.
Stay by side,
If you leave me, I will die.
If you hold me, I will fly.
If you hold me, I will fly.
Will you hold me?
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.
And call my name.
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain?
Light up the night.
Save me from the part of me
That's begging to die.

"Can't face the melodies, They bend me until I break."
Shouldn't that be memories?
I LOVE this song! It's so powerful! It's a beautifully accurate description of being bound by trauma. It relates to any harsh past. Everyone with a harsh past can tell you that it's hard to leave behind the emotions of yesterday. Some people feel bound by the emotions of the trauma they've survived. She wants to get close to God, but she feels separated by the emotions and fears and circumstances from the past.
