[Verse 1] I keep a locked box Under my ribs Some nights it rattles Like a fist on the lid You sat on the floor Didn’t ask me to shine Just held my hand Till my breathing got time [Pre-Chorus] I was all sharp edges You were steady rain You said, “Stay right here” When I couldn’t name the pain [Chorus] You stayed with me You stayed with me When the room went cold You stayed with me You stayed with me And let my heart go slow [Verse 2] There’s a crack in my smile Where the old hurt lives But you brought in soft light And a little room to live No grand speeches Just your hoodie and me On the edge of the bed Learning how to be free [Pre-Chorus] I was all sharp edges You were steady rain You said, “Stay right here” When I couldn’t name the pain [Chorus] You stayed with me You stayed with me When the room went cold You stayed with me You stayed with me And let my heart go slow [Bridge] If my hands shake You don’t step away You count my breaths Till the dark fades gray And if I fall back You don’t let me drown You just pull me close And keep me around [Chorus] You stayed with me You stayed with me When the room went cold You stayed with me You stayed with me And let my heart go slow [Outro] Soft enough to stay Strong enough to know I’m not alone now I’m not alone now
