Say You'll Stay (Even If It Hurts) (Acoustic Cover)

[Verse 1] You move like a memory I never lived Eyes full of storms I’d gladly drown in I’ve been the villain, the ghost, the flame But I’d trade my name just to begin again [Pre-Chorus] You say love’s a lie you learned too young But I see truth in the way you run Let me be the silence you trust The hand you hold when the world comes undone [Chorus] Say you’ll stay, even if it hurts Even if I’m not the first I’ll be the scar that sings your name The fire that doesn’t ask for flame Say you’ll stay, even if you break Even if it’s all mistake I’ll be the echo in your chest The one who loves you at your mess [Verse 2] You wear your pain like a crown of thorns But I see the grace in your defiance I’m not here to fix or tame Just to stand beside your silence [Bridge] I’m not the cure, I’m not the cage I’m the page you never dared to write But if you let me in tonight I’ll be the myth that makes it right [Final Chorus] Say you’ll stay, even if it hurts Even if I’m not your church I’ll be the prayer you never spoke The vow that held when others broke Say you’ll stay, even if you fall Even if you lose it all I’ll be the song beneath your skin The one that begs, “Let me in”
