Stay if you want her, dive deep in the red Am I your man or just a ghost in your head? You keep me hanging, like I’m lost in your game Look me in the eyes, then act like it’s all the same [Pre-Chorus] You stole my time, came close but slipped away Someone else could do the things you say Still I believed there’s more beneath the surface Now tell me, what’s the move, what’s the purpose? [Chorus] Give your best shot, don’t hold back, don’t pretend Make sure you do right, from start to the end If you’re gonna play, then play it strong and true No excuses, no lies, just what you do Don’t say you tried when you didn’t fight Don’t say you didn’t know, keep it real tonight If you stay, stay real, no halfway show If you leave, then leave, don’t hang me low [Verse 2] I want you, girl, yeah, I want you bad Break it down slow, tell me what you had You take a heart that beats for you alone But give half the love, leave the rest unknown You say you know me, but you miss the signs Every time I call, you cross the lines [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t know I needed more than words Lived for promises that never occurred Waiting longer than I should’ve dared Thinking one day you’d really care But you can’t ask for all my heart If you don’t know where you start [Chorus] Give your best shot, don’t hold back, don’t pretend Make sure you do right, from start to the end If you’re gonna play, then play it strong and true No excuses, no lies, just what you do Don’t say you tried when you didn’t fight Don’t say you didn’t know, keep it real tonight If you stay, stay real, no halfway show If you leave, then leave, don’t hang me low [Bridge] You say, you say, what’s on your mind? Got something to say, don’t waste my time Talking like you’ve got the perfect plan But every answer’s late, can’t understand You say, you say, what’s on your mind? Tell me now, don’t leave me blind If there’s something left between us two Say it now before it’s through [Chorus] Give your best shot, don’t hold back, don’t pretend Make sure you do right, from start to the end If you’re gonna play, then play it strong and true No excuses, no lies, just what you do Don’t say you tried when you didn’t fight Don’t say you didn’t know, keep it real tonight If you stay, stay real, no halfway show If you leave, then leave, don’t hang me low No excuses, no lies, just what you do Give me something real I can hold on to
