[Verse 1]
Would you like to stay for a while?
Though I may ask you to go
Would you like to stay for a while?
Though I may put on a show
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not leading you around
Don't believe me
[Chorus]
Cause I am a coward with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long
[Verse 2]
Would you like to stay for a night?
And every night after this
I may push and put up a fight
But it is you I would miss
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I push away too strong
And you leave me
[Chorus]
Cause I am a coward, with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long
[Bridge]
All the things I do to keep from looking
Looking out, not looking in, so I don't lose my footing
Don't feel good, to be unsteady, don't feel good to fall
Lord I am not ready, but are we every ready at all?
[Chorus]
Coward, with a cowardly heart
And I am tired of playing the part
I play so well after all this time
Holding on, it's been too long
