Verse 1
Now we’re just strangers, in a world full of hate
Feels like our love just slipped through the gate
No reason I can see, no storm we couldn’t face
But here we are runnin’, like we’ve lost our place
Pre-Chorus
We should be home, holdin’ tight every night
Not driftin’ apart, not givin’ up the fight
Chorus
Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?
Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me
To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams
We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?
It’s always been me
Verse 2
I still remember your touch in the dark
The way you lit up that cold, empty spark
But now your shadow’s all I see in the light
And your footsteps fade deeper into the night
Pre-Chorus
We should be dancin’ in the kitchen slow
Not watchin’ each other just turn and go
Chorus
Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?
Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me
To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams
We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?
It’s always been me
Bridge
Maybe the road got rough
Maybe the fight got tough
But I’d walk through the fire for you
If you’d just believe in us
Chorus (repeat, more intensity)
Why can’t you stay? Why’s it gotta be this way?
Why run when you know it’s me, it’s always been me
To heal your tragedy, to hold your broken dreams
We’re losin’ everything, baby, don’t you see?
It’s always been me
Outro
Now we’re strangers, but I still pray
That one day you’ll turn ‘round, and find your way
Back to me… ‘cause it’s always been me
