When the sky gets a little too heavy,
And my mind won't let me sleep,
You don't try to fix the weather,
You just sit here next to me.

And somehow that's enough to make
The whole world feel less loud—
You put your hand into mine
And you don't let go somehow.

You know my restless, tangled ways,
My changing moods, my longest days,
You see the parts I try to hide,
And still you choose to stay beside me.

You work so hard, you give so much,
Still somehow you find time for us.
And when I'm falling through my head,
You pull me back with words you said:

"I've got you.
I'm right here.
You don't have to face this fear."

You're the man who stays,
When the storm won't go away.
When I'm lost inside my head,
You're the voice that brings me back again.

You're my steady, you're my safe,
You're the arms I run to every day.
And I don't know what I did
To deserve a love like this—
But I'll spend forever
Thanking God you're the man who stays.

Sometimes my emotions rise
Like waves beneath a changing sky.
One minute I'm laughing, then
I'm somewhere I don't understand.

And you don't tell me I'm too much,
You don't pull away from all the stuff
That comes crashing through my heart.
You just hold me where you are.

You know the woman underneath
The doubt, the fear, the insecurity.
And when I can't see anything good,
You somehow see it like you should.

"I've got you.
I'm right here.
We'll get through another year."

You're the man who stays,
When the storm won't go away.
When I'm lost inside my head,
You're the voice that brings me back again.

You're my steady, you're my safe,
You're the arms I run to every day.
And I don't know what I did
To deserve a love like this—
But I'll spend forever
Thanking God you're the man who stays.

Sometimes I wonder what you see
When you look across the room at me.
How can you love somebody
Who sometimes struggles just to love herself?

I tell myself I'm not enough,
That somehow I don't deserve your love.
But you just smile and pull me near
And make the answer crystal clear.

You don't need me to be perfect.
You don't need me to be strong.
You don't love me for the easy days—
You love me through them all.

You're the man who stays,
When the world gets in the way.
When I'm breaking, when I'm scared,
You're the proof that I'm not facing it alone.

You're my steady, you're my safe,
My forever in a changing place.
And if I could choose again,
Through a thousand lives and then—

I'd still reach for your hand,
I'd still choose you every time,
I'd still thank God for the way
You make this heart of mine feel alive.

So if I don't say it every day,
If the busy world gets in the way,
I hope you always know it's true—

Through every storm and every season,
Through every reason and every dream,
I'd choose your hand inside of mine.

You're my safe place.
You're my home.
You're the man who stays.

And I will love you
For as long as I am yours.
