Stay

Neon lights in the rearview glow

Bit my tongue just to keep you close

Heart on fire, but you’ll never know

I told you I had somewhere to go

Your fingers tap against the wheel

Your silence saying more than what’s real

If I could stop time, would you even see?

I"m only here ‘cause you"re everything to me

I made up a reason, wrapped it in grace

Told myself lies just to see your face

If you ever asked, I’d drown in the truth

But I’ll never let the words slip through

Oh, I could stay here forever

Calling it fate, calling it never

Every glance, every touch

Makes pretending hurt too much

But you’ll never know

I’m only here for you

I taste regret like sugar on my tongue

Every look feels like we"re still too young

You smile like you"re close — like you"re almost there

I wish you"d pull me under, but you never dare

Every night feels like a loaded gun

Every lie feels like I’m coming undone

I carved out a story, made a place to belong

But there’s no song — you’re the reason I’m holding on

I made up a reason, wrapped it in grace

Told myself lies just to see your face

Would you ever stay if you knew the truth?

Or leave me here like I always knew?

Oh, I could stay here forever

Calling it fate, calling it never

Every glance, every touch

Makes pretending hurt too much

But you’ll never know

I’m only here for you

Say my name — I swear I"d break

One little word and I"d give it all away

I"m screaming inside, you"re inches away

But you only see the girl who’s good at walking away

Oh, I could stay here forever

Chasing a hope I can’t surrender

Every glance, every touch

Makes pretending feel like too much

But you’ll never know

I’m only here for you

Atlanta lights flicker, tangled in lies

I’ll leave when you stop looking at me like that

Maybe tomorrow, maybe not tonight

Maybe I’ll stay... one more time
