[Verse 1]
I’m not pulling away
I’m trying not to fall
Every time you look at me
I feel those old walls
Rain tapping on the glass
Your shadow in the light
And loving you this close
Feels dangerous tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t see the ghosts
Living in my chest
Every broken promise
Every lonely breath
You just see a woman
Standing in your flame
But loving you this deeply
Might never be the same
[Chorus]
If I stay
If I let you hold my heart this way
If I breathe you in
Like the rain tonight
If I stay
If I let these walls all fade away
Will I still be me
In your arms tonight
[Verse 2]
Your voice cuts through the silence
Soft but strong and low
And every word you whisper
Makes the truth harder to hide
Your eyes don’t look afraid
That scares me even more
Because the way you love me
Feels like something I can’t ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve learned to walk away
Before the ground gives in
But you make standing still
Feel like a different sin
[Chorus]
If I stay
If I let you hold my heart this way
If I breathe you in
Like the rain tonight
If I stay
If I let these walls all fade away
Will I still be me
In your arms tonight
[Bridge (very intimate)]
Your hand against my face
Your breath against my skin
And for the first time in so long
I don’t know where to begin
Because loving you feels gentle
But the fall feels deep
And part of me wants forever
While the other wants to leave
[Final Chorus (bigger emotional lift)]
If I stay
If I let you see the truth in me
Every scar I hide
Every broken piece
If I stay
If I let your love surround me now
Will I lose myself
Or finally be free
[Outro (soft)]
Rain falling on the glass
Your heartbeat next to mine
Maybe…
I’ll stay tonight.
