Stay
Emotional Dilemma: Love, Fear, and Redemption in 'Stay'
Lyrics
I'm scared I can't love
I'm afraid that I may not be capable of love.
Cause it takes two to tango
Loving requires mutual effort, and I don't want to disrupt that balance.

On your toes
I don't want to hurt or offend you.
You'll let me go
You might decide to let me go.
