MAIN THEMES

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Hollow Yosh “I would be lost, drifting along […] bloody and bruised, brought to my knees. When beaten down, when broken up, you would appear,  reach out to me. Heal every wound and make me whole […] Had I realized, had I thought it through, would you be here in my embrace?
Shine bright once more, guide me to you, smile bright once more. This time I will never let you go.”
The romance throughout the three acts: feeling lost, confused, angry, but that weird feeling of love growing, scaring them both. One needed time to understand it, the other to heal, but now that they’re together again, nothing can separate them.

◈PROLOGUE

◇Hawke’s Past in Lothering — Before Dragon Age: Exodus (9:06-9:30)

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Hawke Family Theme Inon Zur Hawke’s theme, used to mark the beginning of her (back)story.
Sense of Home Harrison Storm “Tell your brother you're listening to his dreams.
Tell your sister she is all you need.
Tell your mother she is the only one, and your father has made you all that you've become. Because these words aren't meant for anyone else but your family.”
After Malcolm’s passing, when the Hawke family started changing.
I Was So Sure Mnthl “"Breathe",t hat's what they're telling me but I just can't calm down.
Grieve, I know it's what I need but I just don't know how.
All these voices get so loud, but they still can't drown the sound of me knowing this is all my fault. We're still too young, this is too much, but I still know that there must have been something that I could have done.
I was so sure but I fell short. I thought I'd stand tall, and shake the ashes off. I told myself that I could be strong, I was so sure…”
Eleena is a spirit healer, but she had to hide her magic. She tried to save Malcolm, but the illness took him eventually. She was sure there was something she could have done to prevent this, but she was so young…
Surface Pressure Jessica Darrow "Under the surface, I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service. […] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger, see if she can hang on a little longer. Who am I if I can't carry it all, if I falter? Under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us. […] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and see if she can handle every family burden.”
Since Malcolm’s death, Eleena was forced to grow and replace her parents, as Léandra wasn’t emotionally available and she was the oldest… But she always hid it behind a big smile, letting those invisible cracks in the shadows.

◇Fenris’ Past in Tevinter & Seheron — Before Dragon Age: Exodus (9:XX-9:30)

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Fenris Theme Inon Zur Fenris’ theme, used to mark the beginning of his (back)story.
Escapism AJ Michalka, Zach Callison & Grace Rolek) “I guess I have to face that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace of doubt but pulled against the grain. I feel a little pain that I would rather do without. I'd rather be free.”
Young Fenris dreaming of escapism, leaving Tevinter. Before he got his lyrium markings.
Metamorphosis Blue Stahli I feel it right at the heart of me and it grips me physically. Dragging down so far below and it's a violent vertigo. Digging it in like a parasite […] Something's changing, rearranging me. Just beginning my own surgery.
I'll cut away everything and tear away everything. Confining, defining. And I'll escape myself. I cast off what it means to be ruled by the happening. Moving past the experience, never dwell on the evidence. Breaking it off of the identity, I come and kill it when i contravene.
I'm dissolving all of this in the full metamorphosis.”
Fenris changing, getting the lyrium markings as his memories disappear.
Death of Me SAINT PHNX “See the chains around my feet, wondering if I'm gonna wake up and be flying. It's killing me trying. I'm a dreamer, I'm a man. I'm doing whatever I can to make the bad things go away. When I'm beat up and alone, I feel it wherever I go, it's like a poison in my veins.”
Fenris dreaming of freedom, of using that poison on his skin to his advantage.
Kill of Be Killed Muse “I must kill or be killed. They've driven a stake right through my heart. I'm growing so cold and detached and I’ve tried so hard to spread love but she prefers it when I assert control. Fate has brought us here to face our hopes and dreams erased. Either kill or be killed.”
Fed up and finally having an opportunity to strike and free himself, he knows it means blood on his hands.
Not forgetting Fenris is Andrastian, and “she” could fit her role.
Fade Away Breaking Benjamin “It's over,I didn't want to see it come to this. I wonder if I will ever see your face again. And I know that I will find a way to shed the skin. It's simple, I know that I will suffer in the end. […] I'm cold and broken, all alone. It's hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away. Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way and I can't remember how it all began to break. We suffer, I live to fight and die another day.”
After killing ‣ & the other Fog Warriors, he’s in a turmoil, knowing he could still escape, or go back to his slave life, regretting the trust they put in him.
Keep Myself Alive Get Scared “How could this darker cloud make me stronger now. I'll always ask myself: When will this go away, when will this change?
I don't want to wait. All of this pain, will it go away? […]I just want to leave this place behind, every time I see your face in mine!”
His time by the Fog Warriors made him stronger, made him realise there’s a chance for him, a life where he could just be his own person, not someone’s property. But everytime he thinks about it, the flashes of their faces come back. The visions of him, murdering them all.
Paradox Survive Said The Prophet “Drown me out what was once what I had burn me out of my misery. Down to the ashes, we all fall down to the ashes. Carry on, I've been gone from the place where I belong because I can not take this anymore. I'm done with the feelings that I've known, lost in paradox. The feeling of hatred burns my soul. […] Some will call it giving up, I just call it getting lost in my own revenge.”
Determined to run away from Danarius and never letting him take over again.
Run Boy Run Woodkid “Run boy run! This world is not made for you, they 're trying to catch you.
Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you, they're dying to stop you.
Run boy run! Break out from society.”
Fenris, the runaway slave.
Woke Up A Rebel Reuben And The Dark “The blood will not dry and time will not heal. I want to be free but the blood will not dry. […] I slept like a slave and woke up a rebel.”
Fenris still thinking about the Fog Warriors and these markings, still labelling him as “Danarius’ weapon”, that cannot heal. But he’s determined.
Time of Dying Three Days Grace “On the ground I lay motionless in pain. I can see my life flashing before my eyes. Did I fall asleep, is this all a dream? […] I will not die, I will survive, I'll wait here for you.”
More hunters sent by Danarius to find Fenris found him, and he killed them all, again. He’s not scared of him anymore. He’s ready for the day he might come in person, to kill him.
stray Steve Conte “I never spoke of tears or opened up to anyone including myself. I would like to find a way to open to you, been awhile, don't know if I remember how to. I'm here waiting on the edge, would I be alright showing myself to you? It's always been so hard to do. […] No regrets 'cause I got nothing to lose. […] Is there a place left there for me, somewhere that I belong? Or will I always live this way, always stray?”
Now back on the continent, freedom almost there to grasp, she has no idea what he wants since he was never given that chance. This song can also reflect his growth around Act I and ActII about friendship, his way to open up to Hawke, slowly.

◈ACT I (9:31)

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Kirkwall Arrival Inon Zur Another official DA2 soundtrack to mark the beginning of Act I
Devastation and Reform Relient K “I feel like I was born for devastation and reform, destroying everything I love and the worst part is I pull my heart out, reconstruc. And in the end it's nothing, but a shell of what I had when I first started. Usually I'll cause my own first hit. It seems to me to be slightly masochistic, but there'd be no story without all this dissension, so I inflict the conflict with the utmost of intention.”
Fits both Fenris & Eleena. She is doing whatever if takes for her family to survive in Kirkwall, and he’s trying to find a way to get rid of Danarius once and for all. Destroying and rebuilding the little they have left, often causing themselves pain in the process, but they know there’s no other way.
Bullet With Butterfly Wings Tribe Society “Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage. I still believe that I cannot be saved.”
Fenris expected to find Danarius but in the end, he wasn’t in the mansion. He feels angry, he was ready to put an end to this, but now he’s just feeling stuck, in this counterfeit freedom, still hunted.
Dangerous Man Little Dume ”There's a light inside the darkness leading you home when life ain't what it seems. Close your weary eyes. Mend those broken wings and learn how to fly.
Eleena tries to make him feel better, by telling him she’ll be ready any time if Danarius shows up.
”There’s a spark in me. They say I'm a dangerous man, better run fast as you can, don't you look back.”
He tries to convince her to keep her distance. Shows him his lyrium powers again, and the things he’s capable of.
On My Own Ashes Remain “I've tried forever getting out on my own but every time I do this my way I get caught in the lies of the enemy. I lay my troubles down, I'm ready for you now […]I don't wanna fight alone anymore […] In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own.”
Eleena managed to convince him that he isn’t alone anymore now, and that there’s strength in numbers. He knows it of course, but it’s the first time he actually experience it.
Prisoner Raphael Lake, Aaron Levy, Daniel Ryan Murphy Closed eyes, never feel safe
I'm tongue tied, never let out my rage
Tried breaking this cage
But where would I go?

I'm stuck living a life of bad luck Giving me nothing, doors shut Alone in my head, I'm out of control

Ohh am I losing my sanity? I'm over my head I'm in dark dream Ohh I'm a prisoner here, they'll never let me leave

Losing grip on reality I'm over the edge I yell and I scream I'm a prisoner here, come get me Set me free

Hurt me, do what you want I'm thirsty, feeding me bones The hunger is all that I know I'm starving for air

Trapped here, sinking in deeper Cold sweat, wet from my my fever I'm kept, locked in box Nobody cares

Ohh am I losing my sanity? I'm over my head I'm in dark dream

Ohh I'm a prisoner, here they'll never let me leave Losing grip on reality I'm over the edge I yell and I scream I'm a prisoner here, come get me, Set me free

Dark dreams, every time I close my eyes Demons coming after me I'm tired, please Every time I close my eyes I see them coming after me These dark dreams Every time I close my eyes, demons coming after me I'm tired, please Every time I close my eyes I see them coming after me

Ohhh am I losing my sanity? I'm over my head I'm in dark dream

Ohhh I'm a prisoner, here they'll never let me leave Losing grip on reality I'm over the edge I yell and I scream I'm a prisoner here, come get me, Set me free

◈ACT II (9:34)

◇Love

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Love Scene Inon Zur This soundtrack marks the beginning of their romance in Act II
Howl Florence + The Machine If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground
Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness
And howl, howl
Howl, howl
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground
And howl
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground
I SEE YOU MISSIO I see you when you're down
And depressed, just a mess
I see you when you cry
When you're shy
When you want to die
I see you when you smile
It takes a while
At least you're here
I see you
Yes, I see you
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
I see you when you hide
And when you lie, it's no surprise
I see you when run from the light
Within your eyes
I see you when you think
That I don't notice all those scars
I see you
Yes, I see you
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
What a mess you've made of everything
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
And I'm hoping that you will see yourself
Like I see you
Yes, I see you
I see you
Yes, I see you
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
I see you when you chase
All the dreams inside your head
I see you when you laugh
And when you love until the bitter end
I see you in the dark
At the dawn of something new
I see you
Yes, I see you
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
And I'm hoping that you will see yourself
Like I see you
Yes, I see you
I see you
Yes, I see you
Even when you cry
And even when you're shy
You mean everything to me
Even when you lie
And even when you hide
You mean everything to me
Yes, I see you
(I see, I see, I see you)
I see you
Even when you cry
And even when you're shy
Yes, I see you
(I see, I see, I see you)
I'm alone with you
You're alone with me
And I'm hoping that you will see yourself
Isolate Rootkit, Joe Erickson Tell me what you want to hear
Throw away your doubts and fears
Let me be alone with you
Let me be alone with you
Let me be alone with you
You keep it to yourself, I know
You're holding on too tight, let go
Let me be alone with you
Let me be alone with you
Half A Man Dean Lewis I was wrong to say I loved her, I was wrong to think I'm right
When I told her it was over, oh my darling I had lied
I've been running from my demons, afraid to look behind
I've been running from myself, afraid of what I'd find
But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?
And how could I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning, so let go of my hand
Oh how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
And now I'm stuck in this hotel room by a cold neon light
And I've been waiting for an answer, but it won't come tonight
And every bottle I have stolen lay shattered on the floor
What's broken can't be whole anymore
But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?
And how could I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning, so let go of my hand
Oh how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
And no one can ever hurt me like I hurt myself
'Cause I'm made out of stone
And I'm beyond help, don't give your heart to me
But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?
And how could I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning, so let go of my hand
Oh how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hard To Love Stadeside You taught me that home's just not a house
I've been so homesick for you darling
Even after all this time these tears spell out your name
But will things ever be the same
If its meant to be
Then I'll see you in ten years
I'm sorry for the troubles
I'm sorry I disappeared
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But i've never felt so hard to love
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But i've never felt so hard to love
And now i'm defeated and grey
I can't even bear the thought of your name
I really wish this wasn't my story to tell
But all I am is the girl who loved and fell
If its meant to be
Then I'll see you in ten years
I'm sorry for the troubles
I'm sorry I disappeared
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But I've never felt so hard to love
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But I've never felt so hard to love
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But I've never felt so hard to love
Forgive me for I have fallen from above
But I've never felt so hard to love
Separate Ways (World Apart) Journey Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you
No!
No!
Someday love will find you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
No!
No!
The Wrong Place Hooverphonic I wake up, and I think I could use another drink
I'm reaching for a smoke to forget about last night, last night
I get up 'cause I need a shot of instant remedy
I put a record on, it makes me think about last night, last night
It all ended in the weirdest trip
He started actin' way too hip
That's why I ignored you for a long, long time
But then you had the best opening line
(You're in the wrong place)
You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you еver dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
You wake up, and you think you won't need another drink
You don't want me to smoke, though I didn't stop last night, last night
You get up 'cause you need an organic cup of tea
You put a record on, it makes you think about last night, last night
You confuse me with your blurry eyes
Thought you were a different kind of guy
That's why, I took you to my messy place
But it felt as if we were in a different space
(You're in the wrong place)
You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
You're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
Change Your Mind The Killers Racey days
Help me through the hopeless haze, but my, oh, my
Tragic eyes
That I can't even recognize myself behind
So if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
Out again
A siren screams at half past ten and you won't let go
While I ignore that we both felt like this before
It starts to show
So if I have a chance
Would you let me know?
Why aren't you shaking?
Step back in time
Graciously taken
Oh, you're too kind
And if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
We're all the same
And love is blind

Can I change your mind?
If the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
Imagination Foster The People I wouldn't try to throw myself away
If you asked me, I'd say

In my imagination, oh, oh
Yeah, there's nothing left to cry about

Honey Whiskey Nothing but Thieves This party's pretty boring

I'm feeling nauseous
I'll light a cigarette
I don't want a diagnosis
I don't want a name to call this
And I'm unraveling
And all I know for certain
Is I'm not running toward the safest thing
You're sticking around, but how can you stand it?
I can't salvage your mind while I'm losing mine
And nobody should have to deal with this
But I need ya, I don't wanna leave ya
Stay here
I know I love you, but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you, but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you, but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you, but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it

◇Loneliness, loss and liquor

TRACK NAME ARTIST(S) STORY
Kirkwall Town Act 2 Exploration Inon Zur This soundtrack marks the beginning of how I imagine the gap between Act II and Act III.
Howling To Kill A King This is our life in letters
All at once remembered when I walked you home
All at once a lightweight
With every smile I intake
Soberly blow me down
All the lights we passed
And this wine in the glass
And we're center stage
Face so welcoming will
Make a man say things he does not mean
Too soon, too soon
Oh baby, oh baby
I'm just a dog
At the moo-ooo-oon
Just a dog
At the moo-ooo-oon
This is our life in love oh
All at once begun when I let you know
This is where the cold wind bit
Searching hands and fingertips find my own
This is where the evening changed
At once rearranged when you told me so
Oh how funny life gets
This is our song in effect obviously, obviously
Oh baby, oh baby
I'm just a dog
At the moo-ooo-oon
Just a dog
At the moo-ooo-oon
Oh baby, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby
I'm just a dog
At the moo-ooo-oon
War of Hearts Ruelle Come to me in the night hours
I will wait for you
And I can't sleep 'cause thoughts devour
Thoughts of you consume
Ooh, ooh

Ooh
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you

Stay with me a little longer
I will wait for you
Shadows creep and want grows stronger
Deeper than the truth
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
Ooh, ooh

A Lovely Mess Front Porch Step I'm not the man that I once was
But I'm changing every day because I want to find someone like you
And you've got eyes that can tear me down
But all they do is built me up
So hold my hand before my heart erupts

And darling I may not be everything you want But I can give you all I have I'm not the perfect man But you are just so perfect and I want to be the one that holds your hand

I'm Sorry if I come off strong And it could be that you're all wrong for me But I just had to see Because you are broken and I am such a wreck I think that we would make a lovely mess

And darling I may not be everything you want But I can give you all I have I'm not the perfect man But you are just so perfect and I want to be the one that holds your hand

Some day we could wake up in a bed we call our own I would buy you lots of flowers And someday I'd build your home I would sing you Frank Sinatra while we sway along and dance This life of course could be all yours if you would just give me a chance You might also like We Didn’t Start The Fire Fall Out Boy Perfect Man Front Porch Step You’re Gonna Go Far Noah Kahan And darling I may not be everything you want But I can give you all that I have I'm not the perfect man But you are just so perfect and I want to be the one that holds your hand

I'm not those men that made you cry And I promise that I will spend my life just trying to make you feel alive Because you are broken and I am such a wreck I swear I will love you till I'm dead | | Say Something | Anna Blue, Damien Dawn | baby I’m so tired - oh oh of you keeping quiet - oh oh I feel the anger cutting slowly through my heart and it burns like fire - oh oh I can sense the violence deep within your silence couldn’t we just go back to before? you put this love in danger treat me like a stranger nothing like the one I used to know I wanna break the ice but you keep acting cold you got to say something, say something can we make this right? there’s a million things untold you got to say something, say something say something now say something now, yeah already left my guard down - oh oh you need to open up now - oh oh I feel the desperation crawling up my veins and it makes my heart pound - oh oh I can sense the violence deep within your silence couldn’t we just go back to before? you put this love in danger treat me like a stranger nothing like the one I used to know I wanna break the ice but you keep acting cold you got to say something, say something can we make this right? there’s a million things untold you got to say something, say something say something now oho - oho – oho tic toc tic toc soon it’s gonna be too late tic toc tic toc so baby don’t you let me wait tic toc tic toc everything could be alright tic toc tic toc but you’re just letting time go by I wanna break the ice but you keep acting cold you got to say something, say something can we make this right? there’s a million things untold you got to say something, say something say something now oho - oho - oho say something now | | can you hear the thunder? | Animal Sun | Fate has brought us here Beneath the pale afterglow of my despair Light behind your eyes Seems to flash across the skin of my disguise And I've got chills down to my bones With a weight above the clouds that built your throne Real, this can't be real As you cast me from the mountain to your feet I'm yours to keep Oh when I try to leave You've got another one up your sleeve (Oh, don't let me go) Before the thunder rolls I look straight into your eyes I'm feeling paralyzed (Oh, don't let me go) Before the thunder rolls I begin to hate myself Just as these walls do melt Oh honey, you'll see things in me I'll never be (What do you want from me?) Wish I could break your heart Not tear myself apart It's your tainted innocence that devours me, oh no And you're the howling winds of the roaring sea You shake me to the core of reality Weathered down by pouring rain my soul is yours to own Oh when I try to leave You've got another one up your sleeve (Oh, don't let me go) Before the thunder rolls I look straight into your eyes I'm feeling paralyzed (Oh, don't let me go) Before the thunder rolls I hear the thunder roar I hear the thunder roar (Oh, don't let me go) When I try to leave You've got another one up your sleeve (Oh, don't let me go) Before the thunder | | Breathe Into Me | Red | And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you And this is who I am when I don't know myself anymore And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me

Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me

And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away

Breathe into me, breathe into me, Breathe into me, breathe into me! Ah!

Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me

Afraid of what we'll find If we let words run free

You got me stuck in a daze

You're wondering what not to say

I am not thinking clearly when you're saying my name

I look you deep in the eye

You wonder if I will stay

Until the heat of the moment takes us away

Cannot hide you spark my flame whether you feed it or not

We both play the waiting game

No one will win in the end

I'm waiting for you

You're waiting for me

Afraid of what we'll find

If we let words run free

You got me stuck in a daze

You're wondering what not to say I am not thinking clearly when you're saying my name

I look you deep in the eye

You wonder if I will stay
