[Outro] Stay, s–s–stay— Don’t let it move Soft, s–s–soft— Keep it out of view [Verse 1] You steady every shaking line Before it turns to something real The parts of me I try to hide Start showing how they’re meant to feel No question ever crosses lips It’s written somewhere in my breath The hesitation disappears And something cleaner’s left [Pre-Chorus] Only, o–o–only— You make it easy not to see Hold me, h–h–hold me— Like I was never meant to leave [Chorus] You do it better than I ever could Make it hurt the way it should Take the blame before it lands And leave me clean inside your hands (don’t say it) Keep it steady when it slips Press it quiet at the lips Hold it just before it’s real Turn it to something I can feel (you know this, you need this) I let it stay— Like it was always there [Verse 2] A hand firm against my mouth Like it’s the safest place to be Like it’s the safest place to be You call it keeping something down I call it keeping something clean There's movement just before I shift Like something feels it coming on Take the moment from my hands And say it’s better if it’s gone [Chorus] You do it better than I ever could Make it hurt the way it should Take the blame before it lands And leave me clean inside your hands (don’t say it) Keep it steady when it slips Press it quiet at the lips Hold it just before it’s real Turn it to something I can feel (you know this, you need this) I let it stay— Like it was always there [Bridge] I let it happen every time Before I know it’s even there Right before it forms Something's missing from the air If I give it all away Will you still— STAY?! [Final Chorus] You do it better than I ever could Make it hurt the way it should Take the blame before it lands And leave me clean inside your hands (don’t say it) Keep it steady when it slips Press it quiet at the lips Hold it just before it’s real Turn it to something I can feel (you know this, you need this) I let it— Before it becomes me (you know this, you need this) I let it— Before it becomes me [Outro] Stay, s–s–stay— Don’t let it move Soft, s–s–soft— Keep it out of view Wait, w–w–wait— Something slipped through Hold, h–h–hold— It was never you Then why does it— Still sound the same?
