Piano Intro (soft, sparse)
Mmm…
It’s just you and me tonight…
Yeah…
Verse 1
You’re the one I call at midnight
When I don’t know what to say,
When the noise gets too loud in my head
And I’m trying to escape.
You don’t try to fix the broken,
You just sit with me in pain,
You’ve been steady through the shaking,
Through every high and every low I face.
Pre-Chorus
And I know I don’t say it enough,
But I feel it every day.
Chorus
If I had a million reasons to run,
You’re the one that makes me stay.
From the bottom of my heart, I love you more than I can say.
When I’m barely holding on, when I’m lost along the way,
You’re the one who pulls me back… right beside you I will stay.
Verse 2
You’ve seen every side I hide,
Every part I’m scared to show,
Never turned away from me
When I felt too hard to hold.
I know I don’t always say it,
All the ways you’ve carried me,
But you’re written in my heartbeat,
You’re the reason I still believe.
Pre-Chorus
And I won’t let you feel alone,
Not after all we’ve made.
Chorus
If I had a million reasons to run,
You’re the one that makes me stay.
From the bottom of my heart, I love you more than I can say.
When I’m barely holding on, when I’m lost along the way,
You’re the one who pulls me back… right beside you I will stay.
Bridge (piano builds slightly)
So if you’re ever lost in the dark,
And you can’t find where you belong,
Lean on me like I did you,
I’ll be where you are.
When your faith starts giving out,
And your world’s too heavy to hold,
I’ll be your reason to stay,
If you forget what you know.
Final Chorus (full but still emotional)
If you had a million reasons to run,
I’d be the one asking you to stay.
From the bottom of my heart, I love you more than I can say.
When you’re barely holding on, when you’re lost along the way,
I’ll be the one who pulls you back… right beside you I will stay.
Piano Outro (stripped back again)
Mmm…
Right beside you… I will stay…
Even when the light fades away…
You’re my reason…
My reason to stay…
