[Intro]
[fingerpicked acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1]
Don't say forever
Just stay
Stay when it's hard
[piano enters with soft chords]
I've walked through fire
Just to feel something real
Built my walls so high
They forgot how to heal
Then you touched the silence
I was hiding in
And suddenly
I could breathe again
You don't try to fix me
You just stay
Even when my skies turn into gray
[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving drums, strings swell]
You're not just a moment
You're where I begin
The place all my broken
Pieces fit in
Through every scar
Every undone part
You don't run, you stay in my heart
If the world fades out
If the lights go dark
I'll still find my way by who you are
No matter the storm
No matter how far
You're my forever
Just as you are
[Verse 2]
[drums and strings drop out, acoustic guitar and piano continue]
I was afraid love would ask me to change
But you see the chaos and don't look away
No perfect story, no fairytale line
Just your soul reaching into mine
And for the first time
I don't feel alone
Even the silence
Feels like home
[Chorus]
[full band re enters, high energy]
You're not just a moment
You're where I begin
The place all my broken
Pieces fit in
Through every scar
Every undone part
You don't run, you stay in my heart
If the world fades out
If the lights go dark
I'll still find my way by who you are
No matter the storm
No matter how far
You're my forever
Just as you are
[Bridge]
[heavy drum hits, soaring strings]
If I lose my way
If I fall apart
Promise me you'll still hold my heart
Not just the light
Not just the grace
Love me in every fractured place
I don't need perfect
I just need true
And all I've ever needed was you
[Outro]
[music swells to climax, then fades to piano and acoustic guitar]
You're not just a moment
You're where I begin
Every lost piece
Finds you within
Through every fall
Every restart
You're the rhythm inside my heart
And if forever
Is more than we planned
I'll still choose you again and again
Every lifetime
Every scar
I'll love you
Just as you are
[vocalizing]
Not just a moment
You're where I begin
