I stayed

Verse 1

You built your walls so high, I couldn’t see your pain

You said you were fine, but I could feel the rain

You tried to push me out, said you’d be okay alone

But I saw the truth in every broken tone

Pre-Chorus

You were fighting battles you would never show

I made a promise I would never go

Chorus

When you ran, I stayed

When you pushed, I stayed

When you said “leave me now”

I loved you anyway

Through your dark, through your pain

I stood in every storm and rain

You didn’t see it then, but you see it now

I was the one who never backed down

Verse 2

Obstacles and voices trying to pull us apart

But I knew what I felt deep in my heart

Real love don’t walk away when it gets hard

It stays and fights and carries the scars

Pre-Chorus

You were lost in a world I couldn’t see

But I stayed so you’d never lose me

Chorus

When you ran, I stayed

When you pushed, I stayed

When you said “leave me now”

I loved you anyway

Through your dark, through your pain

I stood in every storm and rain

You didn’t see it then, but you see it now

I was the one who never backed down

Bridge (soft, emotional)

One day you turned and looked at me

Said “now I finally see

You were the one who never left

You were the one who fought for me”

Final Chorus (big)

When you ran, I stayed

When you pushed, I stayed

I saw your heart even through the pain

And I’d do it all again

Through your dark, through your pain

I’d stand in every storm again

Now you see what I knew somehow

I was the one who never backed down

Outro (slow)

Real love don’t leave when it breaks

Real love stays, real love waits

And I’d choose you over and over again

Through the storm, through the end
