[Intro — soft piano + distant vocal hums]
Mmm…
Just hear me out…
[Verse 1 — fragile, intimate]
I’ve been holdin’ back the storms behind my eyes
Didn’t want to let you see the way I break sometimes
But you touch me like forgiveness,
You talk to me like light…
And suddenly my shadows don’t know where to hide
[Pre-Chorus — building]
I’m not perfect, no…
But you still call me home
So if you’re walking forward,
Baby, I won’t walk alone
[Chorus — cinematic bloom]
If you stay…
I’ll give you every part I kept afraid
I’ll let the walls I built fall out of place
I’ll learn to love the mess I made
If you stay…
I’ll open up the doors I locked away
I’ll hold your heart as if it beats the same
Just don’t let go—
Not when I’m finally letting you in…
If you stay…
[Verse 2 — emotional rise]
You see the battles underneath the quiet smiles
And somehow, you still call it beautiful the whole while
You don’t run from all my ruins,
You don’t flinch at every scar…
You just trace them like a map to where you are
[Pre-Chorus — stronger]
And I’m terrified…
But your hand is in mine
So if there’s a future here,
Then I won’t run this time
[Chorus — full, powerful]
If you stay…
I’ll give you every part I kept afraid
I’ll let the walls I built fall out of place
I’ll learn to love the mess I made
If you stay…
I’ll open all the doors I locked away
I’ll hold your heart as if it beats the same
Just don’t let go—
Not when I’m finally letting you in…
If you stay…
[Bridge — whispered to soaring]
I’ve never had a love
That didn’t fade in the morning…
But you’re still here,
And I’m still learning
How to believe in something good…
Something good…
[Final Chorus — explosive, emotional]
If you stay…
I’ll stop pretending I’m not afraid
I’ll take your heart and promise I’ll give grace
We’ll rewrite every line of yesterday
If you stay…
I’ll choose you in the dark and in the day
I’ll hold your hope exactly where it lays
Just don’t let go—
Not when my soul is reaching for yours…
If you stay…
