[Verse 1]
You’re late again
Smell of someone’s perfume on your jacket
Say my name
Like a promise you already cracked
I make coffee
Hands shaking while I stir the past
Ask you nothing
’Cause I’m scared of what I’ll ask
[Chorus]
You break me
I stay anyway
Hold you while my heart gives way
Every “I’m sorry” that you say
Cuts a little deeper
But I stay anyway
I stay anyway
[Verse 2]
We laugh too loud
Over stupid shows at 2 a.m
You kiss my forehead
Like you never meant to hurt me then (oh)
Your phone lights up
You flip it over
Say it’s nothing
I look away
Tell myself I must be overthinking
[Chorus]
You break me
I stay anyway
Hold you while my heart gives way
Every “I’m sorry” that you say
Cuts a little deeper
But I stay anyway
I stay anyway
[Bridge]
All my friends say “baby
Run”
But I confuse your chaos for love
Trade my peace for one more night
One more lie that almost feels right
Who am I
If I don’t choose
To finally choose myself over you?
[Chorus]
You break me
I stay anyway
Hold you while my heart gives way
Every “I’m sorry” that you say
Cuts a little deeper
But I stay anyway
You break me
I fade to gray
Hold on till there’s nothing left to save
Every “I love you” sounds the same
It’s the final wound when I
Walk away too late
(I stayed anyway)
