Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When you can't feel a thing
After too many stings
When you forget about grace
The world is a lonely place
Stay with me
You'll be surprised
There's a world of color
Beyond black and white
Open your eyes
Let in the light
You'll see when you stay with me
When you can't hear a thing
There are no words to sing
You keep your heart where it's safe
But the world is a silent place
Stay with me
You'll be surprised
There's a world of color
Beyond black and white
Open your eyes
Let in the light
You'll see when you stay with me
Hold on
Be strong
Believe in love
Stay with me
You'll be surprised
There's a world of color
Beyond black and white
Open your eyes
Let in the light
You'll see when you stay with me
