(Verse 1)
I used to think that love meant pain,
Kept tryin’ to fix what I didn’t break.
He said forever, but forever changed,
Every promise turned into a chain.
I lost my voice, I lost my fire,
Bendin’ for his twisted desires.
Thought if I stayed, he’d see my worth,
But stayin’ just made it worse.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
He said “baby, I’ll do better,”
But better never came.
I kept holdin’ on to pieces
Of a man who loved the game.
⸻
(Chorus)
If you stay with that man through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
He’ll take your light, your fight, your wings,
‘Til you don’t even feel a thing.
But the moment you walk away,
Girl, that’s when your soul starts to sing —
‘Cause if you stay through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
⸻
(Verse 2)
I wore forgiveness like perfume,
Tryin’ to hide the pain in the room.
He said I was crazy, I believed,
But I found truth when I finally leave.
Now I’m rebuildin’ from the dust,
Turned my heartbreak into trust.
No more cryin’ over lies,
I see freedom in my eyes.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
He said “baby, I’ll do better,”
But better never came.
Now I’m done survivin’ storms
That never had my name.
⸻
(Chorus)
If you stay with that man through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
He’ll take your light, your fight, your wings,
‘Til you don’t even feel a thing.
But the moment you walk away,
Girl, that’s when your soul starts to sing —
‘Cause if you stay through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
⸻
(Bridge)
No more walkin’ on his broken ground,
I’m stronger now, I’ve turned it around.
Love ain’t pain, it’s peace and truth,
And I found that when I let go of you.
⸻
(Final Chorus)
If you stay with that man through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
But I found my power in the leaving,
Now I’m the one worth believing.
Yeah, the moment I walked away,
My heart found its song to sing —
If you stay through anything,
He’ll put you through everything.
