[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Some nights I don’t trust my mind
It tells me lies I almost buy
Says I’m too much, says I’m a mess
Says I should disappear instead

But I woke up, opened my eyes
Even when I didn’t wanna try
I didn’t feel brave or strong
I just stayed, and that was enough

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have all the answers
I just know I didn’t run

[Chorus]
I didn’t leave when it got dark
Didn’t give up on my own heart
I didn’t fix everything
But I didn’t disappear

I didn’t leave when I felt weak
When I could barely even breathe
I’m still here, that’s the truth
And maybe that’s a miracle too

[Verse 2]
Some days I still feel afraid
Like I’m one bad thought away
From losing everything I built
From giving up and calling it

But then I think about the ones
Who love me even when I’m numb
And I don’t know what tomorrow brings
But I know I’m still standing

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have all the answers
I just know I didn’t run

[Chorus]
I didn’t leave when it got dark
Didn’t give up on my own heart
I didn’t fix everything
But I didn’t disappear

I didn’t leave when I felt weak
When I could barely even breathe
I’m still here, that’s the truth
And maybe that’s a miracle too

[slow guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Maybe staying is a win
When your world is closing in
Maybe breathing counts as strength
When you’re tired of the pain

[Final Chorus / Outro]
I didn’t leave…
