[Intro - distant piano, low ambience]
Yeah…
You broke me slow…
Didn’t even know…
[Verse 1 - quiet, fragile]
You were lying next to me, calling someone else
I could feel it but I blamed myself
Every silence had a hidden truth
But I kept believing you
You got so good at playing calm
While I was breaking in your arms
Every look, every excuse
Now I see what I refused
[Pre-Chorus - tension builds]
I should’ve left when I felt it first
But loving you was my worst curse
[Chorus - emotional, dark release]
And I stayed anyway
Even when I felt the pain
Even when the truth cut deep
While you were lying next to me
Yeah I stayed anyway
While you slowly walked away
Gave you everything I had
Even knowing it was bad
[Verse 2 - heavier, more direct]
You never said it, never tried
Just hid it deeper, let it slide
I found the truth inside your phone
While I thought we were alone
You didn’t fight, didn’t explain
Just left me drowning in the blame
Like I was crazy all along
But I knew something was wrong
[Pre-Chorus - stronger]
I should’ve walked, I should’ve ran
But I kept reaching for your hand
[Chorus - bigger, broken]
And I stayed anyway
Even when I felt the pain
Even when the truth cut deep
While you were lying next to me
Yeah I stayed anyway
While you slowly walked away
Gave you everything I had
Even knowing it was bad
[Bridge - stripped, almost spoken]
No apology… no sound…
Just silence breaking me down
You didn’t even try to stay
You just let it fade away
[Final Chorus - peak emotion]
But I stayed anyway
Through every lie you gave
Through every hidden call at night
While I was right there by your side
Yeah I stayed anyway
Now there’s nothing left to say
You took all I had to give
And still expected me to live
[Outro - fading piano]
Yeah… I stayed…
But not today…
