This was really not the way that you had in mind   though you know they say that love is hard to find   It's a complicated road, but if you dare to walk   you will find a light within the crowd.      So you say      Stay with me, I won't let go of you   I'll pray for you if you just give me one more try   Sure I'll show you why   you know how much I need you   I know you need me too      It's the lesson of a life if you lose your greatest fight   It's hard to know if you should try again or if you should let go   You have one dream, American, you know there is the happy end   and though it's a dream to you it seems like on you can defend      So you say      Stay with me, I won't let go of you   I'll pray for you if you just give me one more try   Sure I'll show you why   you know how much I need you   I know you need me too         If you knew all the right answers   you wouldn't ask any questions at all   but you know for a fact   you don't know how to act   how to make me fall
