“I’ll Be Here (No Matter What)”

I see the weight behind your eyes, you never say it out loud

Caught in the middle of a war that you didn’t choose now

They pull you one way, I’m standing still in the rain

I won’t make you pick a side just to take away your pain

I know your silence got a voice and it’s screaming inside

Every time you try to breathe, something’s taking your life

And I won’t be another pressure pushing you to the edge

I’d rather love you from a distance than be something you regret

⸻

So don’t you rush, don’t you break

Don’t let them steal what we made

If you need time, I’ll stay the same

I’m not going anywhere

⸻

I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose

You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove

If you stay, or if you walk away

I’ll still be right here in the same place

And if you call, I’ll come right now

Through every fear, through every doubt

I’ll wait forever if that’s what you need

But if you need saving, you can run to me

⸻

They tell me love shouldn’t feel like I’m breaking in two

Like I gotta lose my world just to hold on to you

I’m scared of the fallout, scared of the cost

Trying to find myself without getting lost

I hear your voice in the quiet, telling me breathe

You never pulled me apart, you just let me be me

And maybe that’s why I’m torn in between

’Cause you’re the only place that feels like peace

⸻

I don’t know how long it’ll take

But I feel every word that you say

If I fall, will you still remain?

(Male:) I’m not going anywhere

⸻

I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose

You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove

If you stay, or if you walk away

I’ll still be right here in the same place

And if you call, I’ll come right now

Through every fear, through every doubt

I’ll wait forever if that’s what you need

But if you need saving, you can run to me

⸻

I’m not the enemy, I’m not the war

I’m not the weight that you’re fighting for

I’m not the voice that’s breaking you down

I’m the one still here when no one’s around

I won’t compete with the life that you’ve known

I won’t tear apart what built you a home

But if those walls ever start to cave

Just know I’m outside, I ain’t walked away

Yeah, I’ll be patient, I’ll carry the pain

I’ll sit in the silence, I’ll weather the rain

But don’t you think for a second it’s weak

To reach for my hand if you’re too tired to speak

⸻

I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose

You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove

No matter what you decide to do

There’s always a place right here with you

And if you call, I’ll come right now

No hesitation, no backing down

I’ll wait forever, I swear it’s true

But I’ll be right here if you need me soon
