Stay Until I'm Ready

I'm still flinching when you touch my hand. I'm still a house built on shifting sand. You're looking at me like I'm already whole. But you're seeing the ghost, not the rest of My soul. I wanna give you what you're looking for. But I'm still picking up my heart off the Floor. The walls are high, the light is dim. I'm learning how to breathe again. So just stay until I'm ready. Hold the light while my hands are unsteady. I'm not there yet, but I'm trying to be The man you deserve, the man that you See. Don't turn around. Don't say we're through. Just stay until I'm ready To Love you. I've spent years making silence my friend. Thinking every beginning was just a new End. But the way you stay patient, The way you don't judge, it's given my frozen Heart the first little nudge. I'm terrified, baby, that I'll let you down. But I'm finally tired Of this lonesome town. The air is thick, the pulse is fast. I'm hoping this time I can make it last. So just stay until I'm ready. Hold the light while my hands are Unsteady. So just stay until I'm ready. Hold the light while my hands are unsteady. I'm not there yet, but I'm trying to be The man you deserve, the man that you See. Don't turn around. Don't say we're through. Just stay until I'm ready To love You. I'm a master of ruins, king of the dark. But you're the first one to find a spark. Don't let me go when I push you away. That's just the fear begging you to stay. Stay until I'm ready. Keep my world from spinning, keep it Steady. I'm not there yet, but I'm coming home. I'm tired of being so damn alone. Don't turn around. Don't say we're through. Just stay until I'm ready To love you. I'm almost there. Just Stay
