[Intro]
I kept one foot out the door
Just in case you did the same
Spent so long expecting goodbye
I forgot some people stay
Yeah…
[Verse 1]
You met me in the middle of a war I couldn’t end
Heart held together by scars and loose threads
I was looking for the catch in every word you said
Certain every “forever” had an expiration date
I pushed, you pulled closer
I ran, you stood still
I gave you every reason
Most people would’ve dipped
But every time I braced myself
For another empty frame
I turned around and there you were
Looking at me the same
[Pre-Hook]
I don’t know if you realize
What your presence really did
You healed parts of me I thought
Were too damaged to be fixed
[Hook]
You saw every crack in the glass
Every shadow from my past
Every wall, every defense
Every reason not to last
I kept waiting for goodbye
Like the others came before
But you never packed your bags
Never headed for the door
You knew I wasn’t easy
Knew my heart came with the pain
You saw all the reasons to leave…
And you stayed anyway
[Verse 2]
There were nights I made it hard
When my fears got in the way
Turning little things to battles
Just to see if you would stay
Not because I wanted distance
Not because I didn’t care
I just spent too many years
Watching love disappear
You kept choosing us on days
When I couldn’t choose myself
Held my hand through every storm
When I was somebody else
And I know that ain’t easy
Lord knows I put you through it
Still somehow you never left
Even when I thought you’d do it
[Pre-Hook]
I don’t know if you realize
What your loyalty became
You taught a heart prepared for loss
How to trust again
[Hook]
You saw every crack in the glass
Every shadow from my past
Every wall, every defense
Every reason not to last
I kept waiting for goodbye
Like the others came before
But you never packed your bags
Never headed for the door
You knew I wasn’t easy
Knew my heart came with the pain
You saw all the reasons to leave…
And you stayed anyway
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain’t finding perfect
Maybe love is choosing scars
Maybe love is seeing darkness
And still reaching for the heart
Maybe love is waking up
And choosing me again
Even after everything…
[Final Hook]
You saw every crack in the glass
Every shadow from my past
Every wall, every defense
Every reason not to last
I kept waiting for goodbye
But it never really came
‘Cause the girl I prayed I’d find
Looked at all my damage
Looked me in the eyes
And stayed anyway
[Outro]
For the first time in my life…
I stopped waiting for you to leave.
