Ash & Bloom If You Stay lyrics

It isn't truly special when it's new
Often times it sticks around for a year or two
And then you start to wonder, and only to yourself
If who you have is better than anybody else

It charms you with a hazy kind of glow
It wraps you up in pixie dust and then it lets you go
You feel the change of season and maybe that's enough
You find an easy reason to walk when it gets tough

It's only special if you stay
Even when you find those things you'll never change
When the spark is lost
When you feel the cost

It's only special, it's only special if you stay

You think it would be simple, pure and white
The deeper, stronger, lasting kind will keep you up at night
When all their best is tied to a past they brought along
They'll still be right beside you when everything is wrong

If you find somebody worth the pain
Give them all you can
After years of yes and yes again
You'll find that you're a better man
