We was breaking each other, didn’t know how to heal
Left wounds open wide, now they too deep to feel
And when I say I was hurt, yeah, he did that to me
But I stayed right beside him, that’s just who I be
Pre-Chorus
Late nights, I was working, making sure he was good
Even gave him my last when nobody else would
Even when he ain’t ask, I was still showing up
Held him down every time, gave him more than enough
Chorus
I stayed… when I should’ve walked away
Loved him… even through the pain
Took him back when he crossed that line
Gave him chances time after time
I ain’t perfect, I made mistakes
But I never let his hand go break
Now I’m here tryna understand
If he ever really had a plan… for me
Verse 2
I won’t lie, yeah, I did my wrong too
But my heart never switched, I stayed true
And I’m grateful for the life that we made
For our kids and the father he became
‘Cause he stepping up, yeah, I see that growth
Taking care of his own, doing what he supposed
But it still feel different when it come to us
Like he don’t really love me like he say he does
Bridge
And it hurts ‘cause I gave him my all
Stayed solid through every fall
Even when my heart was breaking down
I kept picking us up off the ground
Chorus (Repeat)
I stayed… when I should’ve walked away
Loved him… even through the pain
Took him back when he crossed that line
Gave him chances time after time
I ain’t perfect, I made mistakes
But I never let his hand go break
Now I’m here tryna understand
If he ever really had a plan… for me
Outro
You don’t see what we been through
You just hear what he tell you
But I know what I gave…
And I still stayed
