I'll Stay

[Verse 1] I got one horn hidden Under my hair and shame I wear your sainted hands Like they could clean my name You look at me so gentle Like I’m still worth the fight But I’m the son of ruin And I can’t stand in your light [Pre-Chorus] He touched you then he vanished Left you in the rain Now you move like something holy Trying not to break And I want to say I love you But my mouth tastes like his sin I keep my hands in my pockets So I don’t pull you in [Chorus] You’re not mine You’re not mine Still I stay Still I stay Holdin’ the door When your whole world shakes You’re not mine You’re not mine But I pray I pray [Verse 2] You rest one hand on your stomach Like it’s a candle flame I see the whole damn future And I hate what bears his name My brother with the black eyes Left you with the pain Now the whole house smells like thunder And you still say my name [Pre-Chorus] He laughs like he’s untouchable Like love is something cheap But you keep sewing up the ruin While I watch you bleed If I could tear my blood apart I’d give you something clean I’d carve a home from all my teeth And kneel where I should be [Chorus] You’re not mine You’re not mine Still I stay Still I stay Holdin’ the door When your whole world shakes You’re not mine You’re not mine But I pray I pray [Bridge] If the sky can split for sinners Then let it split for me I’d take the curse, I’d take the fire If it set you free You were kind to a monster You were kind to me And that’s the closest thing to heaven That I will ever see [Final Chorus] You’re not mine You’re not mine Still I stay Still I stay Holdin’ the door When your whole world shakes You’re not mine You’re not mine But I pray I pray Take my heart Take my name If he won’t stay I will stay
