Stephanie Quayle - Why Do We Stay?

Copied!

{Verse 1}
We could miserate, pontificate how things have to change
We threaten and negotiate and keep on testing fate
We tell our friends we're on the mend, "It's better than before"
And just like that we're fighting mad and now we're keeping score

{Chorus}
Why do we stay?
What will it take?
There's only one way
There's only one way
We can plead
And pray to be free
Would we walk?
Would wе leave?
Why do we stay?
Why do wе stay?

{Verse 2}
Excuses made, smiles are fake, pretending things are good
When all the while everyone can see right through

{Chorus}
Why do we stay?
What will it take?
There's only one way
There's only one way
We can plead
And pray to be free
Would we walk?
Would we leave?

{Bridge}
The car is in the drive
Just walk over to the counter
And pick up the keys
Say a little prayer
Don't look back
And leave

{Verse 3}
I never thought this day would come but here I am as proof
And all I have to say

{Chorus}
I didn't stay
Our story's the same
No one could force me
To walk away
I had to find
My own strength
To believe
I didn't have to stay
So why do we stay?
Why do we stay?
Why do we stay?

Biography

edit bio

Stephanie Quayle is celebrating a breakthrough year. The Rebel Engine Entertainment recording artist was inducted into CMT’s Next Women Of Country class of 2019, made her Grand Ole Opry Debut, played the historic Ryman Auditorium for the first time, and was a consistent presence on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Quayle was also one of the only independent female acts in 2018 with two videos in rotation on CMT. That, combined with numerous accolades in the media and a vigorous touring schedule, made Quayle one of the most talked about indies of the year.

Named one of Rolling Stone Country’s “Top Artists You Need To Know,” Quayle is garnering attention from her high-energy live shows across the country while sharing stages with artists like Kane Brown, Brett Eldredge, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, LOCASH, Billy Currington, and more.

The singer-songwriter’s booming personality has also been tapped as a special guest host for Wrangler Network on the ACM Awards red carpet, as well as for Sounds Like Nashville on the CMT Awards and CMA Awards red carpets. And in a once in a lifetime opportunity, the charismatic performer was the only independent act invited to perform for the five living former U.S. presidents (Obama, W. Bush, Clinton, H.W. Bush and Carter) alongside artists like Lady Gaga and Alabama as part of the hurricane relief concert “Deep From The Heart: The One America Appeal” in Texas.
