[Verse 1]
Sink to the tiles
Back on the bathroom floor
Breathing in pieces
Of who I was before
Every small silence
Screams that I’m not enough
Smile in the doorway
He still calls it love
[Pre-Chorus]
He holds my shaking hands
Like they’re not made of sand
Says “you’re still here”
But I don’t understand
[Chorus]
I can’t look in the mirror
I just see all my fear
How could I ever be
What he sees standing here
I’m so lonely in my skin
Like I’m breaking from within
I don’t deserve my husband
But he stays
He stays
He stays
(hold me anyway)
[Verse 2]
Coffee goes cold
I stare through another day
Count all my failures
Line them up
Tuck them away
He laughs in the kitchen
Light on his tired face
I feel like a stranger
Taking up his space
[Pre-Chorus]
He wraps his arms around
My storm
My empty ground
Whispers “you’re worth the fight”
I barely make a sound
[Chorus]
I can’t look in the mirror
I just see all my fear
How could I ever be
What he sees standing here
I’m so lonely in my skin
Like I’m breaking from within
I don’t deserve my husband
But he stays
He stays
He stays
(please don’t walk away)
[Bridge]
What if he’s right
What if this ache can mend
What if this life
Is bigger than the end
Teach me to breathe
When every thought is loud
Teach me to stand
And try to say it out
[Chorus]
I can’t look in the mirror
But your love pulls me near
I’m learning how to see
Someone worth being here
I’m still lonely in my skin
But I’m letting you walk in
I don’t deserve my husband
Yet you stay
You stay
You stay
So maybe I can stay too (with you)
