why i'm still here
by Ymelda Ramirezthat day you stepped out of the car
ready to walk away and say no more
i backed up
chased you so you'd stay
you looked down on me
PITY AGREED
i sit here and i wonder
had i been strong
had i not chased you
would we still be
i think i would have called
PITY AGREED
i'm glad i chased you
time keeps count of how long
i've had you
the next time you're ready to escape
love
will i chase you
