about

Inspired by If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Written from Mia's POV

lyrics

I can't feel my toes
There's blood smears on the road
But somehow I'm still standing here

I'm moving towards the sound
Is that me still on the ground?
How am I standing here?
God how am I standing here?

The volume is rising
I am still fighting
But something just doesn't seem right

I see people crying
Am I living or dying
I can't find my way out of here

This is the story
Of love and defeat
The words of a boy and a girl and
The way that their body parts meet
Because life's like a song
And I'll play it as long as
My heart continues to beat
If I stay or I go
The one thing I know is
Nothing but love could keep
Me
Here

Now I see myself
Through the eyes of everyone else
They don't see me standing here

Oh to leave would be easy
To give up this feeling
But I am still standing here
God why am I standing here?

This is the story
Of love and defeat
The words of a boy and a girl and
The way that their body parts meet
Because life's like a song
And I'll play it as long as
My heart continues to beat
If I stay or I go
The one thing I know is
Nothing but love could keep
Me
Here

Dying may be the easiest thing
Breathe your soul out, breathe new dreams in
But in this old world the angels still sing
This life may be hard but it's worth everything

It's worth all the heartache
The blood and the tears
It's worth getting broken
And mending for years
It's worth waking up
It's worth waking up
I'm waking myself cause the battle
Is won

This is the story
Of love and relief
The thoughts of a broken girl and
The way that death and life meets
Cause life's like a song
I'll play it as long as
My heart continues to beat
Now I will stay
The one thing I'll say is
Nothing but love could keep
Me
Here
