What Makes You Stay Lyrics & Chords By Deana Carter

Look at me:
I'm in a place
I never thought I'd be.
I don't have the strength
to fight anymore,
Or a reason not to leave.
So tell me why I keep holding on
To something I just cannot see.

What makes you stay when your world falls apart?
What makes you try one more time when it's not in your heart?
At the end of your rope, when you can't find any hope,
You still look at him and say,
"I just can't walk away."
Tell me what makes you stay.

I'm not afraid of living alone,
I was alone before he came.
And I've been in love
Many times before,
But this time's not the same.
I've always been the first to say goodbye...
Now it's the last thing I can do.

What makes you stay when your world falls apart?
What makes you try one more time when it's not in your heart?
At the end of your rope, when you can't find any hope,
You still look at him and say,
"I just can't walk away,
Tell me what makes you stay."

When it goes this deep,
feels this strong,
I can't convince myself
This love is wrong.

At the end of your rope,
when you can't find any hope,
you still look at him and say,
"I just can't walk away...
Tell me what makes you stay.
Tell me what makes you... stay."
