Still i stay

I don’t need the world to listen I just need you close tonight All the noise can keep on talking I’m done trying to be right I’ve been walking through my answers Like they owe me something back Every truth I ever carried Learned to live inside the cracks I don’t promise easy endings I don’t swear I know the way But every time I lose my balance You’re the reason still i stay I’ve let go of who I was Trying to impress the crowd There’s a quiet kind of courage In saying this out loud Still i stay When the night gets heavy Still i stay When the road feels long I don’t need a thousand reasons Just a place where i belong Still i stay No defense, no shield Just what i feel I’ve seen promises turn fragile When they’re spoken just to last I’ve seen fear wear honest faces Borrowed futures from the past I don’t need a perfect answer I don’t need the safest ground If i’m standing in the open It’s because you’re here right now Still i stay When the silence hurts Still i stay When the truth burns first I don’t ask the world for mercy I don’t need to be reborn I just choose you in the moment Where everything is torn If loving means surrender Then let it strip me bare I’d rather stand unguarded Than live pretending i don’t care Still i stay Not because it’s easy Still i stay Not because it’s safe But because when all is broken You’re the truth i don’t replace Still i stay Let the world fall away I’m here And i stay I don’t need to understand As long as you’re here
