[Verse 1]
I know my last name
But I don't know home
A chair at the table
Still felt so alone
I learned to smile quick
Learned to take the hint
If love had a receipt
Mine was torn to bits
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need perfect
I just need stay
A hand on my shoulder
That doesn't drift away
No more half-lit promises
No more almost-kind
I keep making room
For a place I can't find
[Chorus]
I need true fam
(stay with me)
I need true fam
(don't let go)
People who mean it
When they say my name
I love them hard
But I need true fam
I need true fam
[Verse 2]
I've got a heart full
Of borrowed goodbyes
Faces in the hallway
Turning into lies
I can forgive a lot
I can bite my tongue
But I was built for more
Than feeling almost-done
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need perfect
I just need stay
A hand on my shoulder
That doesn't drift away
No more half-lit promises
No more almost-kind
I keep making room
For a place I can't find
[Chorus]
I need true fam
(stay with me)
I need true fam
(don't let go)
People who mean it
When they say my name
I love them hard
But I need true fam
I need true fam
[Bridge]
If I had one room
Where I could just be
With my mess and my tears
And still be company
I'd breathe out slow
I'd stop bracing for pain
I'd lay my armor down
And learn my own name
[Final Chorus]
I need true fam
(stay with me)
I need true fam
(don't let go)
People who mean it
When they say my name
I love them hard
But I need true fam
I need true fam
(stay with me)
I need true fam
(don't let go)
