You stayed

You Stayed”

Verse 1

June first, two years ago,

Two strangers standing at a door.

Our boys were friends, we didn't know

The kind of love we were walking toward.

You came to help us move that day,

Just a man lending us a hand.

But somewhere in the moving and the chaos,

You became more than we had planned.

A month went by, we started talking,

Letting down the walls we'd built.

I brought you into my whole world,

And you never made me feel guilty for it.

Pre-Chorus

I'm the spark, you're the steady flame,

I'm a thousand thoughts, you're my favorite place.

When my mind runs wild and I lose my way,

You bring me back with the words you say.

Chorus

You stayed when the world got heavy,

When my body and my heart were worn.

You held my hand through every storm,

And loved me through the hardest parts.

I'm the fire, you're the calm,

I'm the wild, you're my safe place.

And after everything we've been through,

I still fall in love with you every day.

Verse 2

We got stuck inside with COVID,

A whole week sharing that little room.

Didn't know if we were going crazy,

But somehow I got closer to you.

Then came a pregnancy I wasn't ready for,

And days I thought I couldn't get through.

But you stood beside me through the struggle,

And somehow love kept pulling me to you.

You were there when I was hurting,

When the first days felt so hard.

You and my husband stood beside me,

And you never let me face it all alone.

Chorus

You stayed when the world got heavy,

When my body and my heart were worn.

You held my hand through every storm,

And loved me through the hardest parts.

I'm the fire, you're the calm,

I'm the wild, you're my safe place.

And after everything we've been through,

I still fall in love with you every day.

Verse 3

Then came the surgeries and the healing,

Days when getting up was hard.

The hemorrhoidectomy, the breast surgery,

The calf that kept me off my feet for so long.

Then the gallbladder had to go,

Another mountain in our way.

And every time I thought I'd had enough,

You found a reason for me to stay.

I know my mind can move too quickly,

And sometimes I forget the things I say.

I can be a little unpredictable,

But you love me anyway.

Bridge

I'm ADD and bipolar,

I'm a hurricane with a heart.

I can be loud, witty, and spontaneous,

But you see me for who I am.

You don't ask me to be someone else,

You don't make me earn your love.

You make me feel like I am worthy,

Like I am more than enough.

And I know I don't always say it,

But I see the way you care.

You may be quiet, you may be reserved,

But your love is always there.

Final Chorus

You stayed when the world got heavy,

When my body and my heart were worn.

You held my hand through every storm,

And loved me through the hardest parts.

I'm the fire, you're the calm,

I'm the wild, you're my safe place.

And after everything we've been through,

I still fall in love with you every day.

Outro

June first, two years ago,

Two strangers who didn't know.

Now I look at you and
