[Verse 1] You sleep on my old hoodie Hand on your stomach like prayer He left you with his shadow Left the crib and disappeared And I know my hands are cursed I know what lives in me But I see that small life moving And I swear it sees me too [Pre-Chorus] So if the door gets slammed I’ll be the one still there If the whole world turns to ash I’ll still be in that chair [Chorus] I wish that was my baby I wish that was my name I wish I was the father So I could carry the blame But I’m here, I’m here Through the hurt and the ache I’m here, I’m here Baby, I will stay [Verse 2] Your phone still holds his silence Like a knife in your coat You cry when you don’t mean to I keep my jawbone broke Half my blood runs like a warning Half my heart runs warm I was made for broken endings But not for leaving you alone [Pre-Chorus] So if the nights get loud And your chest gets full of fear Call my name out once I’ll be right here [Chorus] I wish that was my baby I wish that was my name I wish I was the father So I could carry the blame But I’m here, I’m here Through the hurt and the ache I’m here, I’m here Baby, I will stay [Bridge] I can’t fix what he ruined Can’t rewrite what he chose But I can hold your body When the cold wind blows If the world spits poison I’ll swallow it first I may not be the answer But I won’t be another curse [Final Chorus] I wish that was my baby I wish that was my name I wish I was the father So I could carry the blame But I’m here, I’m here Through the hurt and the ache I’m here, I’m here Baby, I will stay I’m here, I’m here Till the walls give way I’m here, I’m here Baby, I will stay
