Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re standing in the doorway
Shoes still on
Eyes on the floor
You say you’re tired of “maybe”
You’re tired of keeping score
Same excuses on my tongue
Like a tape I always play
Watch you swallow one more sigh
As I promise I’ll change someday
[Pre-Chorus]
But someday’s just a word I hide behind
While you’re running out of reasons to be kind
[Chorus]
If you stay
I won’t waste another minute of your faith
I’ve been stuck inside the habits that I hate
Made you carry all the weight
All the weight
If you stay
I’ll unlearn the selfish boy I used to be
Show you every hidden part you gave to me
Baby
I will meet you halfway
If you stay
If you stay (oh, if you stay)
[Verse 2]
You’ve memorized my silence
Know the cracks in every wall
You’ve been giving second chances
Till it feels like none at all
I’ve been busy being sorry
Never fixing what I break
Now I see you packing up
Every little piece of grace
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is just another empty line
I’ll be watching your taillights leave me behind
[Chorus]
If you stay
I won’t waste another minute of your faith
I’ve been stuck inside the habits that I hate
Made you carry all the weight
All the weight
If you stay
I’ll unlearn the selfish boy I used to be
Show you every hidden part you gave to me
Baby
I will meet you halfway
If you stay
If you stay (please stay)
[Bridge]
I don’t want to wake up
To your picture in a frame
Telling friends I lost you
’Cause I never really changed
So I’m throwing out my pride
Learning how to say your name
Like it’s more than just a comfort
It’s the reason that I change (yeah)
[Chorus]
If you stay
I won’t waste another minute of your faith
I’ve been stuck inside the habits that I hate
Made you carry all the weight
All the weight
If you stay
I’ll unlearn the selfish boy I used to be
Show you every hidden part you gave to me
Baby
I will meet you halfway
If you stay
If you stay (oh, if you stay)
If you stay (I’ll change)
If you stay
