[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
