[Verse 1]
I learned to smile real small
Keep my heart in my palm
Packed up hope in a box
Waited for a safe place to land
You came and went like rain
Left me standing in the frame
I still love you all the same
But love ain't the same as staying
[Pre-Chorus]
I need hands that hold me still
A room where I can just be real
No hidden rules, no heavy cost
Just someone there when I'm lost
[Chorus]
True fam, true fam
Stay when it hurts
True fam, true fam
Love me at my worst
True fam, true fam
No strings, no test
I need true fam
I need true fam
[Verse 2]
I don't need perfect faces
I need warm, honest places
A table where my name
Gets spoken like it belongs
I can give all my heart
I've been doing that from the start
But I need more than blood
I need love that makes me strong
[Pre-Chorus]
I need hands that hold me still
A room where I can just be real
No hidden rules, no heavy cost
Just someone there when I'm lost
[Chorus]
True fam, true fam
Stay when it hurts
True fam, true fam
Love me at my worst
True fam, true fam
No strings, no test
I need true fam
I need true fam
[Bridge]
If you find me, don't let go
Teach my heart a softer home
Say my name and mean it slow
Let me finally feel known
[Final Chorus]
True fam, true fam
Stay when it hurts
True fam, true fam
Love me at my worst
True fam, true fam
No strings, no test
I need true fam
I need true fam
