Still Stay

Even though he cheated, I need it

Go back and forth, feeling defeated

Tried to leave, but I retreat it

Tell myself lies just to believe it

My girls say I deserve way more

But they don’t hear the things he swore

When it’s good, it’s golden, real

But when it’s bad, I barely heal

Why do I fold when I know it’s wrong?

Writing him verses in every song

Tired of crying when the lights go off

But I’m still holding on

Still I stay, when I should run

I miss the nights, not what he's done

Fool for love, or just afraid

To face the truth I pushed away

Still I stay… still I stay

He says he's sorry, then plays the same game

Blames the world, but never his name

Says it’s me who's changing ways

But I ain't the one who's gone for days

I replay texts like they hold weight

Scrollin' through memories laced with hate

I see the signs, I know the drill

Yet I’m back here, standin’ still

How do I fight what I feel so deep?

Even my soul can’t find no peace

Call it love, call it fear

Either way, I’m still here

Still I stay, when I should run

I miss the nights, not what he's done

Fool for love, or just afraid

To face the truth I pushed away

Still I stay… still I stay

I talk strong when I’m alone

But I fold when he’s on the phone

Maybe I just want to be known

Even if it's in a broken home

Even though he cheated, I need it

Still stuck in love that’s undefeated

Say I’ll leave — I mean it each day

But still... I stay
