Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was sleeping in my boots
Bills piled on the chair
Ashtray on the Bible
Same old busted prayer
You were folding quiet hope
Into shirts with fraying seams
Holding up a busted roof
And the man I didn’t seem to be
[Chorus]
You stayed when I broke
When the bottom fell clean through
Held the pieces
Cut your hands
Just to pull me back in view
You learned all my storms by name
Never once asked me to change the truth
I ain’t the same
But I’m here
And I’m breathing next to you
[Verse 2]
I remember kitchen light
Buzzing over midnight spills
I was talking in a circle
You were pouring bitter pills
Into coffee
Into patience
Tracing veins along my wrist
Saying
“Feel that little thunder?
That’s a heart that still exists”
[Chorus]
You stayed when I broke
When the bottom fell clean through
Held the pieces
Cut your hands
Just to pull me back in view
You learned all my storms by name
Never once asked me to change the truth
I ain’t the same
But I’m here
And I’m breathing next to you
[Bridge]
Now the past is just a porch light
Fading in the rearview dark
Every mile another mercy
Every sunrise
One more start
I don’t know the words for thank you
Big enough to sound like grace
So I’ll lay this little song down
Like my forehead in your hands
[Chorus]
You stayed when I broke
Now the ground feels solid new
There’s a garden where the wreck was
Wild flowers coming through
You still know my storms by name
But they don’t own what we walk into
I ain’t the same
I’m alive
And I’m leaning into you
