Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m scared you’re gonna leave
Everyone leaves, you know
I watch the door too hard
Like it owes me a show
I keep your hoodie folded
Like it might make you stay
I smile and say I’m fine
Then I fall apart that way
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d do anything
To keep you near
Say my name slow
Make the doubt disappear
I love you too much
That part is true
But I keep a dark mirror
Where I meet myself too
[Chorus]
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
Hold me when I shake
Don’t let go today
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
I love you more than words
I hate me more than I say
[Verse 2]
I count the quiet minutes
When your phone goes still
My mind turns every maybe
Into something it can kill
You look at me so gentle
Like I’m worth the fight
But I don’t trust soft hands
When I’ve lived on goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d do anything
To keep you near
Say my name slow
Make the doubt disappear
I love you too much
That part is true
But I keep a dark mirror
Where I meet myself too
[Chorus]
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
Hold me when I shake
Don’t let go today
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
I love you more than words
I hate me more than I say
[Bridge]
If I get loud, stay close
If I go cold, stay warm
I’m learning how to trust
In the middle of a storm
I’m not proud of the cracks
I’m not proud of the fear
But if you can see me through it
Maybe I can get near
[Final Chorus]
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
Hold me when I shake
Don’t let go today
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
I love you more than words
I hate me more than I say
Be the one that stays
Be the one that stays
If you’re still here tonight
Maybe I can learn to stay

Style
Pop R&B ballad with a slow 74 BPM swing, soft kick and finger snaps under warm keys; verse stays intimate and bare, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising pad, chorus lands on wide doubles and a short gospel lift. Add reverse piano swells, tiny delay throws on the last word of each line, and a breathy ad-lib tail. Bright but tender, close-mic and glossy.

Prompt
I’m scared you’re gonna leave. Everyone leaves. I just want you to finally be the one that stays. I’d do anything to keep you. I love you more than words can explain. But hate myself just as much
