Give Me A Reason To Stay

If I asked you today, now, what you thought I should do, you would probably say that I should leave, stop trying. You would likely tell me, as you have many times before, that you are not worth my time. And now, after all that's been said and done, I'm not so sure that you're wrong. Maybe you are just holding me back. Maybe you're not good for me.

I wonder if you could look into my eyes and tell me what you really want. I don't think you know what you want, and I don't know if that's good enough for me anymore. You used to hold me off with "maybe" and "we'll see" but that's not going to cut it now. I need definite answers.

You thrive on shades of grey. You're comfortable there like I never will be, and yet I've been living in your uncertain, shaky world for over three years now. I've made compromises for you. I've made sacrifices for you. Now it's your turn to step up. Do something for me for a change, if you want me like you say you do. The choice is simple, black and white.

The bottom line: you just don't understand.

I want you to want this. I want you to change.

I want you to give me a reason to stay. Please.
