Adam Chanler-Berat - Why Stay?/A Promise lyrics

[DIANA] Why stay? Why stay? So steadfast and stolid and stoic and solid For day after every day Why stay? Why stay? Why not simply give in and get on with living? Cause everyone knows you tried But somehow something died On the way So tell me why you stay [DIANA/NATALIE] Why stay? Why stay? Enduring and coping and hurting and hoping For day after f**ing day Why stay? Why stay? Why not simply end it? We'd all comprehend it And most of the world would say it: He's better off that way To be free And maybe so is she [DAN] A promise a boy says forever A boy says [DAN/HENRY] Whatever may come we'll come through And who can know how when all I know now to be true Is this promise that I made to you [DAN] A question, a boy wonders whether [HENRY] A boy wonders should I stay [DAN] The two stay together the way that they stay For year after year, for love or from fear Either way [HENRY] Ohh Either way [DAN] That's the promise that I made that day [HENRY] Here's what I say [DAN/HENRY] To the girl who was burning so brightly Like the light from Orion above [DAN] And still I will search for her nightly If you see her, please send her my love And the boy was a boy for all seasons [HENRY] The boy is long lost [DAN] That boy is long lost to me now [HENRY] So lost [DAN] And the man has forgotten his reasons But the man still remembers his vow [HENRY] Forgotten his reasons Aaah [DAN] A promise, a man says forever A man says I'll never regret or let you The promise I made to stay and I stay true Knowing one day we'd remember that joy You'd remember that girl, I'd remember that boy Till we do, the promise I made I'll make it brand new The promise that I made to you
