Title: “Stay With Me”
[verse]
I keep your name in my jacket pocket
Like I might lose it in the rain
The city’s breathing through cracked windows
Every street feels the same
Your eyes say “don’t go”
But your hands start to shake
I’ve been hiding in the quiet
Like silence keeps us safe
[pre-chorus]
I was never good at saying
What my heart tries to prove
But I’m standing here broken
With nothing left but you
[chorus]
So stay with me
When everything falls apart
Hold me close
When I don’t know where to start
I’m no savior
I don’t have it all planned
But I choose you
Every time I can
[verse]
We walked past all the wreckage
Of the dreams we never named
You saw something in my shadow
I was too scared to face
I wear my failures heavy
Like a coat I can’t take off
But you look right through the damage
Like it’s not all that I am
[pre-chorus]
I’m afraid of losing you
Afraid to stand too tall
But when you say my name
I feel like I can fall
[chorus]
So stay with me
When everything falls apart
Hold me close
When I don’t know where to start
I’m no savior
I don’t have it all planned
But I choose you
Every time I can
[bridge]
(soft → build)
Maybe I’m hard to love
Maybe I’m always late
But my heart still beats louder
Every time you say my name
(instrumental swell, drums push forward)
Final Chorus (full, raw)
Stay with me
I’ll give you all I’ve got
No promises
Just the truth, every scar
If the world burns down
And nothing stands again
Stay with me
We’ll be enough in the endAnd when the morning breaks
With light we can’t outrun
I’ll still be standing here
’Cause love stays on…
When everything’s gone
