You’re the Only One Who Stays”
(Verse 1)
I’ve been drowning in the things I never say
Hiding bruises on my mind every single day
And I swear I’ve tried to fit in, tried to change
But everybody walks away like I’m some kind of mistake
I’m a ghost in every hallway,
A shadow in every room
I smile so they don’t see me falling
But the cracks are breaking through
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate that I keep slipping
Hate the person in the mirror staring back
But when everything is missing
You remind me I’m not made to be unloved like that
(Chorus)
’Cause You’re the only one who stays
When the world makes me feel like nothing
When I’m lost inside the maze
Of my mind that keeps on running
Everyone leaves… everyone fades…
But You’re the one who never walks away
I’m broken, but You whisper my name
You’re the only one who stays
(Verse 2)
Some nights I lie awake just shaking
Thinking maybe I’m the problem after all
Like I’m too much, too quiet, too heavy
A burden no one wants to hold when I start to fall
I feel empty in a way I can’t explain
Like I’m here, but somehow I’m not
And I try to pray but I’m hurting
Scared I’m someone even You forgot
(Pre-Chorus)
But in the silence You find me
In the dark You pull me close
Even when I’m sure You won’t want me
You say I’m something more than all my lows
(Chorus)
’Cause You’re the only one who stays
When the world makes me feel like nothing
When I’m lost inside the maze
Of my mind that keeps on running
Everyone leaves… everyone fades…
But You’re the one who never walks away
I’m broken, but You whisper my name
You’re the only one who stays
(Bridge)
I don’t know why You love me
But I’m trying to believe it
I don’t know why You hold me
When I’m begging You to leave me
Maybe You see a boy worth saving
Under all these scars and pain
Maybe You know the heart I’m hiding
And You love me anyway
(Final Chorus)
’Cause You’re the only one who stays
When the world makes me feel like nothing
When I’m lost inside the maze
Of my mind that keeps on running
Everyone leaves… everyone fades…
But You’re the one who never walks away
In the ruins where I’m left afraid
You’re the only one…
The only one who stays
