(Verse 1)
I ain’t gonna lie, J, you been heavy on my mind,
Every night I find myself replaying all your eyes define.
I see strength when you smile, I see pain you survived,
I see a woman built from battles nobody else could fight.
And I ain’t scared of your past, I respect every scar,
You ain’t broken, you’re a masterpiece, a work of art.
Two boys who look up to you, yeah you carry that crown,
And I got my own little heart lookin’ up at me now.
(Pre-Chorus)
What if we took that step we’re both scared to take?
What if love ain’t a risk, but the chance we should make?
(Chorus)
‘Cause I can picture us—
Late nights talking ’bout everything we dream of,
Kids laughing in the backyard growing up,
Building something real, something strong, built on trust.
Yeah I can see it clear—
Your hand in mine like it’s always been right here.
Future shining even when life feels dark,
Girl, we could have forever if we start now.
(Verse 2)
I know you been through storms, but I’d stand in the rain,
Hold you close until the weather turns calm again.
I ain’t perfect, but I’d love you the best I know how,
And I’ll prove it every day, not someday somehow.
I ain’t tryin’ just to talk, I’m tryna show you my heart,
There’s a reason that I met you, nothing random about God.
Maybe timing is the lesson, maybe fate’s on our side,
Maybe everything we prayed for is waiting outside.
(Pre-Chorus)
What if we just let go, stop letting fear decide?
What if everything we want is on the other side?
(Chorus)
‘Cause I can picture us—
Late nights talking ’bout everything we dream of,
Kids laughing in the backyard growing up,
Building something real, something strong, built on trust.
Yeah I can see it clear—
Your hand in mine like it’s always been right here.
Future shining even when life feels dark,
Girl, we could have forever if we start now.
(Bridge)
I ain’t asking you to rush, I ain’t asking you to run,
Just take one step with me and watch what we become.
Two hearts healing, two souls aligned,
Two families blending into one beautiful life.
(Outro)
And maybe someday we’ll look back and smile,
Like “Damn, love was worth every mile.”
So J, if you hear me now,
Baby we could build forever… if we just start now
HereToStay
